Design Dialogues Fall 2010: Computation After New Media
Media Design Program, Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, California
Guest Curator: Garnet Hertz
This lecture series explores key concepts in computational media to empower individuals to imagine, collaborate, provoke, and prototype through computing.
As a result of its widespread adoption, digital media has transitioned from "new media" to a ubiquitous part of contemporary life. This shift from novelty to familiarity has considerable ramifications for academic institutions working in the fields of media arts and digital culture. Exploring the formal potentials of information and networked technologies is no longer of significant interest: information technologies need to be understood as an embedded part of culture and history. Digital cultural practices must also work to extend their parent disciplines, including the studio arts, media history and theory, design, computer science and engineering.
Each speaker in the "Computation After New Media" series will focus on one word— a single term they feel is a core part of their work within the framework of computation. These lectures will be aimed at exploring the underlying structures of computationalism, providing an important leverage into the philosophy, languages, and principles of digital media.

The Pearce-McCallister House was designed by Fredrick Sterner and built in 1899. The Pennsylvania Colonial style residence was built by Colorado’s first British Consul for his son, Harold Pearce, the general manager of the Argo Smelter. In 1907 the home was sold to Henry McCallister of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad.
Caribbean Ventilation…in development
Christopher Cozier’s invitation to use a common tropical ventilation or breeze brick form to create a work of art resonates with my own PhD research. My dissertation entitled “Caribbean Ventilation” explores audience engagement with television in the Anglophone islands (with specific focus on audience interaction with TEMPO, an entertainment channel launched in 2005 with a primary target market of Caribbean people). In my work, I argue that the television is experienced as a window where the screen is an “opening” that offers ventilation. I use the word ventilation to mean “examination,” “scrutiny” or “interrogation.” As a window, the television offers Caribbean audiences what I have termed Caribbean ventilation: the examination and interrogation of notions of “Caribbean.” Television also facilitates a metaphoric aeration or flow between a represented Caribbean and a lived/personal Caribbean – and the negotiation between these spaces of being.
Understood in this way, the television then may be seen as a ventilation or “breeze block.” It is noteworthy that television was introduced in such islands as Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and Barbados around the time of their independence from Great Britain. Television was associated with sovereignty and self-development. Also of note is the appearance of the suburban concrete ventilation block in the post-independence space. The press release for Cozier’s In Development exhibition states: “Post Trinidad’s independence from British rule in 1962, these patterns became pervasive throughout the Caribbean in the 1960s and 70s with the rise of the middle class and the boom of new housing developments.”
In my artwork, I combine Cozier’s ventilation block template with a rounded rectangle shape or simplified suggestion of a (television) screen in an alternating pattern. Screens – including television, laptop, tablet, video game console and mobile phone screens – have become a key facet of our individual and collective development projects; of making sense of who we are and want to be. The screen block in the artwork is not limited to the idea of television but rather is paired with the concrete ventilation block as a means of reflecting on the “ventilation bricks” that comprise our building efforts, which are ever caught up in socio-cultural, technological, political and historical matrices.
The ventilation blocks in the artwork are set in a wall of waves. Despite the ability to be both here and there by way of the Internet, the sea remains part of a discourse on progress in the Caribbean region. The sea simultaneously binds and separates/divides the Caribbean islands. The movement of peoples, labour, materials and products in and out of the islands is still dependent, in part, on crossing the sea. Some of us believe that we have only progressed when we have left island shores, going overseas in search of better.

The 78th Kaikoura Three Day Trial was held on the traditional date in June, now named King’s Birthday Weekend. 76 solo entrants and 7 sidecars tackled the sections at a different property each day.
The first day was at Birches Road, Oaro, in fine weather with no frost. 3 laps of 12 sections, with no deep mud this year, and just a couple of sections in my grade that I couldn’t clean. Day 2 was held at Dairy Flat off the Inland Kaikoura Road, with fine weather and again no frost. A longer loop today with 4 laps of 10 sections. Only one tricky section in my grade, so points were low.
Sunday night saw us congregate at the Whaler Hotel for a meal and presentation to David Chambers who was riding at his 50th Kaikoura event. A great achievement and no doubt he will notch up a few more.
Overnight some periods of heavy rain could be heard on the roof of our accommodation, however this reduced to just some occasional light rain showers once we got to the venue. Half a dozen sections in the creek, with 3 laps of 12 sections in total. Some higher scores on this last day, but easier sections in our grade this year compared to previous.
Then to prize giving before disbursing for home. The event is supported by riders throughout New Zealand with a large number travelling from the North Island as well as regular competitors from across the full length of the South Island. A notable point is the number of families taking part with two and even three generations competing at the event. The large field of 10 Junior riders completed the same sections and loops as senior riders on all days. Seeing this number of Juniors completing the weekend, and their riding skills is great for the future of the sport.
The placings for each class are on the Pioneer Website. Stand out rides were Finn Pearce riding the red line and looking great on the bike. Each time I see him his riding has improved and he must surely be a future champion. A great ride also by Stuart Lawton on a 70’s Twin Shock TY taking first in Twin Shock, but also first in Intermediate. The Sidecar classes also saw some new pairings and new outfits this year. Stand out ride must be John Lawton who, with Conner Newton in the chair both had large smiles all weekend.

"This circa 1900 brick house was designed by Frederick J. Sterner. Its gambrel roof is indicative of Dutch Colonial architecture. The house was a wedding present for Mr. and Mrs. Harold Pearce. Henry McAllister, general consul for the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, purchased the house about 1907 and it remained in family ownership until 1971. The property is owned by the Colorado Historical Society. " --Description from the Colorado Historical Society Website.
This property is now home to the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys.

RNLI lifeboat Andy Pearce Landudno`s current lifeboat and tractor unit parked on the promenade raising funds during the start of Wales rally GB.
A new All-weather Lifeboat (ALB) was nearing completion at the Cowes yard of FBM Ltd., being a 38' (1.582 metres).12'6" (3,81 metres) beam 'Mersey' class self-righter achieved by the inherent buoyancy of a water-tight wheelhouse and hull. She was designed and developed entirely by RNLI staff and is built from Marine Grade aluminium alloy. She has a range of 162.5 nautical miles and cruising speed and a duration of approximately 10.16 hours. She has a fuel capacity of 1088 litres and a displacement of 13.7 tons (14 tonnes). She is powered by two 280 hp Caterpillar 3208T diesel engines, which give her a cruising speed of 16 knots and a top speed of 17.5 knots, more than twice that of the Lilly Wainwright. The new boat 'Andy Pearce' cost approximately £455,000.00 to build and was provided out of a legacy from Mr Andrew Pearce, plus other gifts and legacies. The new ALB arrived at Llandudno on 15th November, 1990 and after a week of intensive crew training, she was placed 'on station' on 23rd November. On arrival at Llandudno the Andy Pearce had to be left in the street after cracks appeared in the forecourt of the boathouse. It was decided to dig up and strengthen the forecourt and during the work the boat was left outside in case it was required for any emergency call-outs.
