Ian Clark - who is he and what is known about him? The note.
Ian Clark.
This name attracts attention.
Why does it attract attention?
If on February 18, 2021, nothing was reported about any coded inscriptions on the parachute for the Perseverance rover, then on February 23, 2021 (after the publication of the miniature on February 22 [MMXXVI.] To Mars - for apples. ("Dare Mighty Things"). An essay. ) anonymous internet detectives emerged who announced that "the phrase 'Dare mighty things' - used as a motto by Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory - was encoded on the parachute using a pattern representing letters as binary computer code." (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/feb/23/dare-mighty-things-hidden-message-found-on-nasa-mars-rover-parachute)
Naturally, for effective maneuvering, it was necessary to supplement the picture with details.
On February 24, 2021, the "23-year-old computer science student from Paris" and other characters appeared.
But where is the main character - of the media play?
The anthem of a huge European media corporation is playing.
Not everyone is familiar with this hymn. But it is binary-coded on the big dome of one of the buildings in Berlin. (This building is related to German taxpayer money).
Once they download the video, isolate the images , showing the entire dome of the building and start piecing together the bits, as soon as people around the world start doing the same, trading insights on Twitter and forums on Reddit - it will be simply exciting that European architects are putting these little puzzles in their missions.
So the anthem is playing. Ian Clark (systems engineer) appears to the sound of the anthem.
How can we find information about Ian Clarke?
First, Wikipedia.
Secondly, the Google search engine.
Thirdly, the Yandex search engine.
Fourth, a special search option for Yandex in news and publications.
So let's get started to look for:
(a) Ian Clark,
(b) Ян Кларк.
The Wikipedia.
English version of Wikipedia. Ian Clark.
Ian Clark related to Perseverance - not found.
But we will not catch on trifles. What if it's not Ian Clark, but Ian Clarke?
Found 'Ian Clarke (born 16 February 1977) is the original designer and lead developer of Freenet'. Ian Clarke related to Perseverance - not found.
The Russian-language version of Wikipedia. 'Ян Кларк (р. 1964) - британский флейтист и композитор.' ["Ian Clarke (b. 1964) is a British flutist and composer."] There are no others.
Let's go to the Google search engine.
Ian Clark. Google issued the results. There is a basketball player, a professor, etc. First five pages of search results, which Google found and listed. Here is no Ian Clark related to Perseverance. The results are not suitable or by profession (occupation), or by place of residence (or both at once).
We enter Ян Кларк - in Russian. Flutist, hypnotist, geek ...
At last!
Ian Clark used binary code! The parachute of Perseverance!
This is the fourth page of search results.
Copy - paste.

All messages - two days ago. That is, it is February 24, 2021.
Let's try to open one message after another and find out: who he is, Ian Clark.
Medialeaks, Nikita Seldenkov, - are very informative: 'Ровер Perseverance сломал головы гиков узором парашюта. Самых внимательных там ждёт пасхалка Загадочника NASA. 24 февраля 2021 13:27 ['The Perseverance rover broke the heads of geeks with a parachute pattern. The NASA Riddler Easter Egg is waiting for the most attentive there. February 24, 2021 13:27]) (https://medialeaks.ru/2402sns-str-perseverance-code/)
In the medialeaks material, Nikita Seldenkov both the concept of "Easter egg" and a quote from Ian Clarke appear ('Превратить это в секретное сообщение было весело. Правда, в следующий раз мне нужно проявить больше изобретательности, - сказал Ян Кларк.' ["Turning this into a secret message was fun. True, next time I need to be more inventive," said Ian Clarke."]), and "the top of iceberg " (users can devote their time to solving the "iceberg" of Easter eggs).
A bit weird and boring. Personally, it's not Easter eggs that are closer to me, but the real achievements of space explorers ... I read about people exploring space, and I admired them. Voluntarily or involuntarily, I have now switched to the theme of Easter eggs ... Well, okay ...
But, nevertheless, we continue ...
We learn that Ian Clark is a crossword lover: 'Кларк, любитель кроссвордов, придумал эту идею два года назад.' ["Clark, a crossword lover, came up with this idea two years ago."] (https://hightech.fm/2021/02/24/secret-message)
The rest of the materials do not open ...
However, both the search itself and its results leave a strange impression.
Let's say a world is filled with energetic and greedy people to solve riddles.
Personally, I'm not sure of this hypothesis - there are still many people with very different interests - some people like tourism, some - fond of fishing, some like table tennis, etc. Do many people really like of the solving of Easter eggs (crosswords)?
But, nevertheless, suppose. The world is full of creative people.
The most creative people explore the Sun, Moon, Mars, Saturn, etc. There are also just creative people (their level is below of the level of the most creative).
And what, the most creative people for other (less) creative people make riddles ("iceberg of riddles")?
It is logical to make the space exploration the subject of interest of the global creative community, - but not to make the subject of interest the someone's arbitrary Easter eggs (if there really were any).
However, I have already spent a lot of time, and I not managed to learn a something significant about Ian Clark. The fact that he is a crossword lover is that an Easter egg?
Ian Clarke - who is he and what is known about him? Apparently, you need to look through photographs of parachutes - from the moment of the first manned flight into space (since 1961). With this search option, it may be possible to find a binary code ...
In the meantime, this completes the our today search for information about Ian Clark.
Still, big tasks take a time, and a lot of time ... And where to get time for big things, if it is spent on studying an infinite number of photographs in the hope of finding an infinite number ("iceberg") of Easter eggs (riddles)? ..
Maybe this is all - a some kind of media-joke? Well, if our miniature '[MMXXVI.] To Mars - for apples. ("Dare Mighty Things"). An essay' (February 22, 2021) launched such an interesting the media-joke, we have no objections...
