Father of the Internet

Article Abstract:

World Wide Web creator Tim Berners-Lee acknowledges that he benefited from a certain amount of luck, as he was in the right place at the right time with an attractive concept. He believes that everybody in the world is equally valuable, and therefore does not like being seen as a celebrity. He is concerned about the apparent lack of commitment to the Web in the UK, where he grew up, and believes that the UK government should set a target of creating a permanent Internet connection in each home within the next two years.

Publish and be damn smart

Article Abstract:

The online version of 'Grove Dictionary of Art' will become as popular as the print version, according to Macmillan Chief Executive Richard Charkin. He believes that the online version will be the single art source of the 21st century for a very wide range of users. He intends to make Macmillan Reference 50% electronic within three years, and hopes to be able to develop online publishing beyond reference books. Planned projects include publishing English language teaching books online.

A very digital dilemma

Article Abstract:

Computer-based art is beginning to attract growing interest from galleries, museums and investors. Despite this, many large institutions are still hostile to digital art, and there is also commercial resistance to digital art. However, many curators regard computer-based art as the most significant force in contemporary art, while shows are attracting very large audiences and a number of galleries have begun to put digital work on the Web.
