David Byrne's Alternate PowerPoint Universe

Hi all,

In today's New York Times, an interesting little story about a current
art project using PPT:

"I was doing mock sell presentations, using mock PowerPoint slides as
visual aids," he says. "That's how I learned the program originally.
But then it evolved into something else. It was no longer enough to
make fun of the corporate stuff. I realized that PowerPoint was a
limited but a valid medium."

A natural move for him, in my book. Anyone who remembers the "Stop
Making Sense" movie or concert tour from the 1980s will recall the
Talking Heads' keen use of 35mm slides onstage.

Surely, though, this "make fun of the corporate stuff" bandwagon shows
no signs of slowing down. We ain't seen the last of this yet ...
