Digital Domain Goes Under the Hammer

Oh dear, this is surely not what James Cameron had in mind when he founded Digital Domain around 20 years ago—tomorrow, the entire contents of the Florida department will be auctioned.

Who would like to use a chair once sat on by a Digital Domain artist in Florida? The reason, namely Digital Domain’s insolvency, is sad, but now offers a unique opportunity. From tomorrow at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, many attractive items from the DD department in Florida can be auctioned live in a global webcast auction. The remaining items will then be auctioned in a global online auction over the following two days, December 13 and 14. 

Here is a selection from the extensive auction offering: In the PC area, HP Z800 workstations, IBM servers, Mac towers, MacBooks, MacBook laptops, Wacoms, Cintiqs and Quantum PCs will be auctioned. For film enthusiasts, there are media rooms with built-in cinema seats, Avid media workstations and, for smaller budgets, just film posters.

Anyone who wants to furnish a new office can bid for more than 250 Herman Miller chairs and office workstations—and, under the motto that everything must go, palm trees.
