Tuesday April 13th 7:30pm-11pm, PechaKucha Night

PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. 
It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace. This event is hosted by AIA Denver, click here for a list of the presenters.

Friday April 16th 8pm-11pm, VJ Battle

Competitors face off in a head-to-head, elimination-style battle on two video screens. The battle format pushes the art of VJing to the edge, inspiring new levels of creativity, skill and innovation. Participants will be judged according to clip selection, interpretation of the music, composition, editing, color, timing and transitions. Rounds will be set to live DJ sets played by Denver favorites. Both judges and the audience, by text message voting, will determine VJ winners. This event is Produced by DOCA + Brian Corrigan + Alie Lane + Doug Bohm and benefits the Flobots.org.
