Digital vs physical: A watershed in document security, Ian Lancaster, Lancaster Consulting (United Kingdom)
Ian Lancaster is a specialist in holography and authentication. He also served as the general secretary to the International Hologram Manufacturers Association from its foundation in 1994 up until 2015. Having stepped into a part-time role as Associate, he is responsible for special projects. Ian Lancaster graduated from Hull University Drama Department, and then did the Arts Council Arts Administration Diploma course. His first job as an arts administrator was at the Library Theatre, Manchester, followed by four years as drama & dance officer at East Midlands Arts, then five years as arts director at the Gulbenkian Foundation. During this period Lancaster received a Fellowship from the US State Department to tour the (United States) to survey the video and holographic arts fields, then became chairman of the British-American Arts Association. Recognizing the interest in art holography in the UK, Lancaster worked with Richard Hoggart to set up the country's first open-access holography studio at Goldsmith's College (where he was Warden), offering introductory courses for artists with support from the Gulbenkian and Rockefeller Foundations, and where he learned to make holograms. In 1982, Lancaster founded the first successful display hologram producer, Third Dimension Ltd, then after four years, he moved to New York as the executive director of the Museum of Holography (1986-88). In 1990 he co-founded Reconnaissance International (www.reconnaissance.net), where he was managing director for 25 years. He originated Holography News, Reconnaissance’s first business-to-business newsletter, and was its editor from 1990 to 2015. Lancaster was also founder-editor of Authentication News, director of Reconnaissance’s anti-counterfeiting, product protection and holography conferences, and chief analyst and writer of the company’s holography industry reports. He led the company into the pharmaceutical anti-counterfeiting field, as consultant/director of the Pharmaceutical Anti-Counterfeiting Forum and editor of Pharmaceutical AntiCounterfeiting News. He expanded the company into the currency and tax stamps fields and was Executive Editor of Currency News from its first issue until 2012. In 2012, Lancaster received the IHMA’s Award for Business Innovation and that year was also appointed as an Honoured Expert in Authentication by the Ministry of Public Security, China, where he is a member of the Committee of Experts of the Secure Identification Union. In 2015, he was awarded the Russian Optical Society’s Denisyuk Medal for services to holography worldwide and the Chinese Security Identification Union’s Blue Shield award for lifetime achievement in combating counterfeits.
