It's time to get rid of neurosis, to remove the dependence on the convulsive generating creative content that instantly dissolves in the sea of ​​advertising.

Presentations that change something

Presentations with slides are ugly. This is a fact.
They are boring, confusing, and meaningless. They do not change the world. They generally do not change anything.

Creating a slide show is an art - the best scenario performance is an art - even just being on stage, it does not matter, with or without PowerPoint - is art.

Slide is a genre of contemporary art. And it is incredibly democratic art available to everyone. Everyone can learn to create stories, make a good (or at least not disgusting) design, finally, and learn to just be on stage. You do not need to be an actor - just be yourself. Paradoxically, the naturalness - is also an art, and this, too, can and should learn. All this will be discussed at the presentation by Alexey Kapterev.
