The Creativity Festival in Florence

We finally arrived at the Creativity festival which takes place in Florence at Fortezza da Basso from October 26th to October 29th (free entrance). Today there is a little preview with “The Galileo’s finger” at the Pergola Theater but the biggest events are during the week end.
I already said something in my previous posts about some of them, but here below I just want to talk about others that I find particular interesting:
- PKN (Pecha Kucha Night): a Japanese event, famous also in Europe that offers to creative people such as architects, screen players, painters, graphic designers, writers the opportunity to present in 6 minutes and 40 seconds themselves and their works in a very relaxing atmosphere among friends and if fact the japanese word pecha kucha literarily means, chatting
- LOG607, a game of composing and breaking up words

- MIMOS round table with the Brain computer interface: with a special helmet you can pilot informatics application as a mental mouse.

And lastly the Technology Inside competition: competitors should go to the Avanada stands during the festival and sign up for the competition, between 10am and 5pm. Competitors need to prove that they are technology insider to present themselves to the job world. They need to tell how they used technology in the past or in the present and what they have done with it. The last day of the festival, the jury will name the winner who will have an I-Pod nano and a job proposal with AVENADE, the second and the third winner will have an IPOD shuffle.
