My first multimedia presentation.

At the end of the last semester I gave an oral presentation in the seminar "Space, Place, Power" offered by Helmuth Berking and Martina Löw – today I put the presentation file that I used on this server in form of a QuickTime movie file. (Of course I made the presentation with Apple's Keynote, not with Microsoft's PowerPoint, therefore the export to QuickTime's .mov format is no hassle; if you cannot install the QuickTime Player on your machine or .mov don't work for some other reason you should contact me.) It may be a bit spartanic and not too informative without an audio commentary. However, I want to wait until the college gets the microphones we ordered recently before I record the audio. Otherwise I would have to rely on the internal microphone of my PowerBook or the tacky headset that I have at home and there would be a lot of noise in the recording. So, if you're interested take a look at it, otherwise it might be wise to wait a bit until I have done the audio (at that point I might also use a different format such as .mp4 or some such thing). As soon as that is done I will reannounce it here and then post links to the file on my static pages concerning my dissertation.

The presentation itself was intended to be a methodological and theoretical statement or manifesto. It succeeded, and we had a very lively discussion in the seminar, which helped me to orient myself and my project.

I hope you don't consider me to be hypercritical, but Quicktime is problematic with Linux. As Keynotes exports also to PDF it might be useful to provide also that format.

You are completely right - I was kind of suspecting, that QuickTime would be difficult for *nixes. I will definitely do a pdf too :)
