Travis Peterson illuminates and investigates insurgency and perversity among the Marx Brothers!

The_Hour_Of_Power challenges information design, hierarchy, linearity, manners, and narratives presupposed by the PowerPoint software, making room for unregulated staging, critical content, and fantastical information. The showmanship is embodied not only in the presenter, but also in the presentation. The event is an exhibition of information design and content as well as a pedagogical exchange as well as a carnival of wonders.
