Edward Tufte, dean of design, urges you to respect your audience and to forgo the dumbing down and the totalitarian nature of PowerPoint (he is not speaking to me, as I, naturally, do not use PowerPoint).
David Byrne, by contrast, finds a new medium for his own ambiguous art and seemingly fulfills a prediction of mine:
" An artist can, no doubt, use the program to capture nuance, organize analysis, and admit complication. "
Then again, with David Byrne perhaps just the last is applicable.
The above gives me the opportunity to remind or inform you that I had something unkind to say about our current crop of corporate politicians and their reliance on PowerPoint to do their thinking for them: "The PowerPoint Presidency".
