does powerpoint corrupt absolutely?...

Remember my August 23rd post - 'PowerPoint corrupts absolutely'? Well according to Ex-Talking Head dAviD ByRNe, PowerPoint has other uses. Rachel Konrad writes for the Associated Press on David Byrne's utilization of PowerPoint in - 'Ex-Talking Head Makes PowerPoint Art.'

David Byrne produced a book/DVD titled 'E.E.E.I. (Envisioning Emotional Epistemological Information)' in which he originally intended to spoof PowerPoint but ultimately wound up morphing the 'malevolent marketing' tool we all 'love to hate' into an 'artistic medium.'

Byrne, a fan of Tufte's, and Edward Tufte seem to be on different sides of the PowerPoint argument, but are they really?
