A Selection of Projects by Ian Clothier for the GHOSTED 2018 Web Residency A selection of projects by Ian Clothier for the GHOSTED 2018 web residency This pdf introduces my work in terms of being an artist, creative director and curator. I am both an independent artist and Director of Creative Research at Intercreate Research Centre. The selection of projects in this file comes from my website ianclothier.com and intercreate.org. Rather than just give you links, I have collected some specific projects together with Ghosted 2018 in mind. Please note that due to the web origin, the look of the projects differs. The contents of this pdf are: 1. SCANZ2018: He Punawai Hohourongo Peace, Water, Power www.intercreate.org/2018-hui/ Earlier this year I was Creative Director of SCANZ2018. I am one of the co-founders of SCANZ which has been running since 2006. Please do read the hui list of topics, as it gives an idea of the range of cultural context and thinking that we attract. SCANZ is a partnership between Intercreate (I am a founder and am Director of Creative Research there), Te Matahiapo Indigenous Research Organisation, Taranaki Savings Bank Community Trust and Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki. We were strongly supported by Maata Wharehoka a kaumatua (elder) of the Parihaka community. 2. Kanohi kitea http://ianclothier.com/kanohi-kitea This project was in the public garden of Parihaka, a Māori settlement 40 minutes drive from Nga Motu New Plymouth in Taranaki New Zealand. I live in Ngsa Motu New Plymouth. Parihaka is nationally and internationally known as a beacon of Peace – the families of Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King have visited there. For this project we mounted LEDs on the gable entrance to the garden. We connected a plant voltage measurer to a very old rosemary bush and the data from the bush was blinked out by the LEDs on the gable. I often work with collaborators, in this case Andrew Hornblow an engineer who makes his own data measurers. 3. Kauri Flow http://ianclothier.com/kauri-flow This project also used a tree voltage data sensor. Kauri are large native trees that are dying through Kauri dieback disease, which is known to be spread by humans. This project connected via the internet, a diseased Kauri tree at the Colin McCahon house in Titirangi Auckland, with two Kauri saplings in Te Uru Waitakere public art gallery. The live voltage readings from the trees determined which of 80 audio files are played on the project website. The audio files were all made by indigenous musicians and kaumatua and could be heard in the gallery. I have a very strong context of the human relationship to the environment in my work and that lead me to projects that connect to nature using data. 4. Sharing the Waiwhakaiho http://waiwhakaiho.intercreate.org/ This is a project I curated. I was commissioned by Massey University in partnership with the National Institute of Water and Atmosphere and Taranaki Regional Council. The project was wide ranging and consisted of creative projects, the project website, videos of farmers and a geologist plus social geographers who recorded locals’ sense of place, all related to the Waiwhakaiho River. The scope and collaboration level is what I would like to draw your attention to with this project. You can see by the titles of the art works, articles and videos, the extent of the project. 5. Wai http://ianclothier.com/wai Wai was a curatorial project commissioned by ISEA2012 Albuquerque. The project consisted of national and international artists. Wai is Māori for water or flow, which points to the importance of the environment. It was through my work with kaumatua (elder) Dr Te Huirangi Waikerepuru, that water has become and ongoing theme for projects. 2018 hui – Intercreate.org http://www.intercreate.org/2018-hui/ You are here: Home / News & notes / Context / 2018 hui 1 of 8 13/03/2018 1:40 PM 2018 hui – Intercreate.org http://www.intercreate.org/2018-hui/ 12th Feb Where What Subject 8.30am Te Piere Depart Te Piere, WITT for Parihaka 9.30am Te Niho Powhiri Concluding with tea and coffee 10am Keynotes Maata Wharehoka Tangata whenua perspectives on He Punawai Hohourongo Inahaa Te Urutahi Tangata whenua perspectives on He Punawai Hohourongo Waikerepuru Tonga Karena Tangata whenua perspectives on He Punawai Hohourongo Nina Czegledy Cross cultural projects with indigenous groups since 1990 12.00pm Creative Azadeh Emadi Video & creative project about river, power and perception Helen Moore Projection of creative project 12.30pm Lunch 1.30pm Pa Artist present their Presentation in Te Niho then art walkabout and stream visit work Sonja van Kerkhoff, Allan Giddy and Ava Werner Glen Skipper Understanding the layers of the whenua (land) 3 of 8 13/03/2018 1:40 PM 2018 hui – Intercreate.org http://www.intercreate.org/2018-hui/ Dr Jane Understanding flow and water from a geological perspective Richardson Emily Bailey, Urs SHMAK & CHI water monitoring and visit to riparian food forest Signer 3.00pm Te Niho Afternoon tea 3.30pm Nature, culture Dr Tracey Benson, The iconography of the sea, natural environment & runic symbols Josiah Jordan 3.45pm Environment Kati Freeman Recent developments in environmental activities engaging the public 4pm Leonardo/ISAST Nina Czegledy Opening remarks from the Leonardo Board and Chair of the Leonardo/ 50th ISAST 50th Committee 4.10pm Leonardo Roger Malina Video made for the event by astrophysicist and art-science exponent video 4.20pm Leonardo Roger Malina live Live as part of Leonardo/ISAST 50th celebrations from Texas 4.35pm Leonardo Dr Janine Speculative weathers, and the next 50 years for electronic art Randerson 4 of 8 13/03/2018 1:40 PM 2018 hui – Intercreate.org http://www.intercreate.org/2018-hui/ 4.50pm Te Poroporoaki Niho 5.30pm Depart for Nga Motu, Te Piere and beyond Saturday February 3rd Residency commences.

The rosemary bush that was the data source is in the background. The audio was motion activated by interrupting a beam. The audio included conch shell playing by Darren Robert Terama Ward. 4 of 7 13/03/2018 1:44 PM ian clothier . com http://ianclothier.com/kanohi-kitea/index.html This project involved blinking data from a very old rosemary bush in the maara (garden) at Parihaka, and having motion activated audio play on entrance and exit of the maara. The LEDs were located in an art work that was at the peak of the gable to the garden. Andrew Hornblow and Deon Roodt were collaborators. I am very grateful for the support of Maata Wharehoka and Ruakere Hond for this work. And to Howie Harris and Charissa Warea, two of the team of gardeners I got to work with most on the project. Kanohi Kitea got it's name from Charissa. She wrote: "Ok I’ve been doing some investigations and the face piece that we/you are going to LED light belonged to my sister in law, Ngaahina Hohaia. It was carved by her then partner Michael Marsden the youngest son of the late historian Maori Marsden. So cool there is a connection to me. Ngaahina has advised me to proceed on this cool collaborative project with her support. Kapai. I like your concept of how you want to light the face. Think it should have a name though. So have thought of Kanohi Kitea which has a double meaning. One is a face that sees with eyes and also can mean a face that is seen often (which can be used for those who turn up to work a lot are faces known). This could give meaning to the future of the maara that it cannot feed the people without being worked by faces of the community." 5 of 7 13/03/2018 1:44 PM i a n c l o t h i e r . c o m http://ianclothier.com/kauri-flow/index.html WORLD TREE ENSEMBLE : KAURI FLOW This Kauri is along the path to the McCahon residency cottage in Titrangi.

  • SURF HIGHWAY 45 Your Guide to the Touring Route Around Taranaki’S Coastline
    SURF HIGHWAY 45 Your guide to the touring route around Taranaki’s coastline taranaki.co.nz/visit WELCOME TO THE SURF HIGHWAY Surf Highway 45 is the 105km coastal route connecting New Plymouth (1) in the north to Hāwera (2) in the south. Between these centres there are dozens of notable places to stop, from surf breaks, beaches, points of historic and cultural interest, scenic spots, and cafés in vibrant and welcoming villages. A journey along the Surf Highway traces the route of generations of surfers, but it offers much more than just surf. The highway weaves through a number of Taranaki’s stories – the surf, the landscape, the rich history, and the creativity, all the while under the watchful gaze of Taranaki Maunga. For more information head to taranaki.co.nz/visit RICH IN HISTORY Taranaki’s history begins with our picture-perfect ancestor Taranaki Maunga and his mythical journey from the Central Plateau (brokenhearted after losing a battle for Mount Pihanga) and includes historic land battles, the birth of the passive resistance movement, and pioneering industrial growth, all of which have contributed to modern-day Taranaki and the many vivid stories we have to tell. These stories are best experienced through the many museums on offer, with the following located on or near Surf Highway 45. • New Plymouth’s waterfront Puke Ariki (1) is a museum, library and i-SITE providing information about the city’s past and present. A fascinating guided walk is also available – book at the i-SITE, 1 Ariki St, New Plymouth. • Tawhiti Museum and Traders & Whalers (3) has been repeatedly judged one of the country’s best museums, and has to be experienced to be believed.

  • Local Skateboarders Keen for Skate Park Extension
    JUNE 2009 Local Skateboarders Keen for Skate Park Extension Seven years ago a report by American Sports Data found there were approxi- mately 18.5 million skate boarders in the world. 85% of those polled were under 18 and 74% were male. Today skate boarding continues to ride a huge wave of popularity world wide particularly with young males and for us here in New Plymouth it is no different. This is an important population demographic represented in the data. Too often this group of young males features dis- proportionably high in our negative statistics. Spending an afternoon down at our local skate park, the American statistics about who is participating in the sport certainly look spot on but what was great to see happening down at the skate park on this gorgeous autumn afternoon was that this sport was anything but negative. The day I visited the East End Skate Park it had its regular ‘Thursday’ afternoon invasion of thirty New Plymouth Boys High students. No they weren’t skipping school but were here as part of their Utility Period option with teacher Catherine Beaton in attendance. Mrs Beaton commented that there were 56 boys wanting to take this option for Utility Period but it was restricted to 30 past here frequently and this place is NPBHS student, Denim Lellmann at to keep it less crowded and manageable. extremely popular! As well as people the East End Skate Park. Also the boys are in a class room back skate boarding there are often bike riders at school if it’s a wet day.

  • Te Rewa Rewa a Bridge That Really Connects
    Te Rewa Rewa – A Bridge that really connects For bridges to give dignity to their setting they must first be built with dignity By Peter Mulqueen: FIPENZ, CPEng, IntPE(NZ), Bridge Engineer and Designer; Ironhorse Bridge Ltd, New Zealand Figure 1: Te Rewa Rewa Bridge with Mount Taranaki in the background. The bridge allowed the extension of the existing New Plymouth Coastal Walkway to cross the Waiwhakaiho River and be extended to the suburb of Bell Block. There is very little written about the creative process as it pertains to bridge design. As a designer, I’ve learned to dissect the thought processes needed to develop a design concept for whichever project is before me. So it was with the Te Rewa Rewa shared pathway bridge. I have defined the creative process for bridge design as being made up of three advancements. The first is from the mind of the designer onto paper by making sketches. The second is from these sketches to engineering drawings. The third advancement is from the drawing board to the wonder of a wholly completed bridge. It’s the first advancement that will be my focus here. During the first advancement, an engineer must hold multiple visions of the bridge in his mind’s eye. These are sometimes described as ‘a four-fold vision of the project, simultaneously considering issues of structural form, mathematical analysis, construction methods, and the relationship of the structure to the site.’ (1) Personally, I have renamed and reordered these to reflect my experience of concept development with the Te Rewa Rewa Bridge.
