Last Friday night two of us from Liquid were included in the lineup of presenters during PechaKucha night in San Jose. It was the first time for each of us…and we enjoyed participating as well as catching the presentations of other speakers.

Alex Littlewood presented a behind-the-scenes look at the branding work that was developed for 01SJ by Liquid…sharing with the audiences some of the work that did not make the cut, and a few pieces that no one has ever seen. Alex did a great job.

Alfredo Muccino shared some of his most recent work - which consisted of words and images superimposed on the picture of an ancient statue of an amazon. The artwork deals with the transformational effect that different words or symbols have on the viewer when associated with the same image.

The rest of the presenters included a wide variety of work…from industrial design by Scott Herbst and interactive artwork by Chris Wiedmann, to a thought provoking visual essay exploring the relationship between pornography and patriotism by Joe Miller.

For those of you who were not able to attend, here are links to each of our two presentations:
Alfredo: The meaning of words and symbols
Alex: The story behind 01SJ

Enjoy!!!
