A picture of wealth

Article Abstract:

Microsoft Chmn Bill Gates and Mark Getty, who is set to inherit part of the Getty Oil fortune, have both been purchasing large volumes of photographs as they seek to gain control over the sale and distribution of digital images. Gates is believed to have allocated a budget of $100 million for the purchase of collections of historic photographs, and his Corbis business now has a stock of more than 20 million images, all of which can be accessed via the Internet. Getty Images has merged with royalty-free image concern PhotoDisc and purchased Allsport, a leading sports agency.

Gods and monsters

Article Abstract:

Shane Walters and Matt Hanson, who run the annual OneDotZero computer film festival, seek to commission producers who will probably be computer programmers, graphic designers, record producers or even graffiti artists. These producers' films link live action with lo-fi illustration, documentary and Amiga-style computer graphics. Many are digitally manipulated pop videos, while some are non-linear cinematic computer-animated sequences originally made for computer console games.
