After almost 30 years, and perhaps millions of painfully dry “integrated workflow” presentations, Imation Corp. has mercifully given Microsoft’s PowerPoint a reason to be celebrated. Originally founded in 2005 by a small group of German artists, the game is called PowerPoint Karaoke, and in the hands of some brilliant designers (as demonstrated in the video after the jump) it is an absolute joy to behold. Simply assemble a group of willing participants, create or find (slideshare.net) roughly 15 presentation slides, hook your laptop to a projector and let the magic begin. The video below is an excerpt from a recent SXSW event, and will not only educate and entertain you on the subject, but reveal exactly how to handle a slide illustrating the intersection of cheese and libido. Don’t forget to check out the PPTk site for contest details, helpful slide resources, where to attend, and suggestions on how to host your own event.
