Wired: PowerPoint Message Is the Medium

Ok, a little self-promotion, here... But, actually, it's interesting how the writer ends up critiquing all of the artists' lack of PPT skills. My presentation was intentionally self-reflexive of the medium, and I'd say they all were. But the presence of this expectation is interesting... ~marisa

    yes... if it's one thing artists should be doing it's making MS's
    powerpoint more aesthetically challenging.
    Can't MS afford to actually pay people to do their PR work for them?
    More message, less massage!
