Chartware doesn’t have to suck.

Take a look at this video of a presention by Dick Hardt. It’s been inspired by Larry Lessig’s presentation style. I wonder what Tufte would think of this?

    I checked this out a while ago, but recently I heard a coworker (currently getting an MBA) describe a fellow student pitching this way. It is a great example demonstrating how changing up the regular routine gets people’s attention. The thing is, I have come to expect more from a presentation. I like Hardt’s execution, but his content could have been shown in 10 minutes instead of 30-45. Is there a happy medium that keeps the content rich enough but engages the viewer that actively? My experience is that a good presenter has the audience paying attention to him/her, not the slides. Is this style a reaction to our generally increasing ADD | MTV | interrupt driven world?
