First yMedia Crew meeting of 2011!

Better late than never… Last night we had our first official meeting with the extended yMedia Crew – It was great to get everyone back together again, catching up with old friends, and welcoming new ones.

Many of us have had big changes/developments both professionally and personally over the past few months hence the quietness on the yMedia front. But the prize goes to (as if it was a Challenge itself) yMedia’s co-founder Pamela Minett and her partner Ivan Cruz – On behalf of the crew, would like to say a big CONGRATULATIONS on your beautiful baby girl, we can’t wait to meet Mika Cruz!

We’ll have a more comprehensive update out for you shortly with some key-dates to look forward to, but in the meantime there are a number of fantastic upcoming events and opportunities that we would like to share with our wider community before it’s too late.

PKN_AKL_23, 18 November

Pecha Kucha night is an event format for creative work in which presenters show a slideshow of 20 images, each of which is shown for 20 seconds — giving a total presentation time of 6 minutes 40 seconds. Each event usually has 8 - 14 presenters. Presenters (and much of the audience) are usually from the design, architecture, photography, art and creative fields.

The event was originally devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Kein-Dytham Architecture (KDa) in Tokyo, Japan in 2003 and has been replicated in more than 300 cities, including London, San Francisco, Seattle, Rotterdam, Shanghai and Berlin.

yMedia was invited to speak last Thursday, 18th November at Pecha Kucha Night in Auckland: PKN_AKL_23 as part of the MoAD & Unitec NZ Art week. It was a perfect way to re-integrate Pamela (co-founder of yMedia) diving head first back into yMedia life presenting alongside Jade.

Topics from the evening ranged from, film, photography, plastic surgery, sustainable product design and social entrepreneurship. As you can imagine, 6 minutes and 40 seconds is not a lot of time to share all the stories behind yMedia so we focused on sharing a few of the stories from not-for-profit organisations and the projects that came out of the yMedia Challenge 2010.
