Eleven of my autotraced digital photographs (the ones taken with my old 640x480 toy camera and autotraced to make them look less crap, with interesting results) are currently being exhibited at Good Morning Captain in Johnston St., Collingwood. They're all from around Melbourne (except for one from Apollo Bay), taken between 2001 and 2002, and will be around for the next 2-4 weeks (unless someone buys them first).
A look at three films Hollywood wouldn't dare make after 9/11: Dune, Starship Troopers and Fight Club.
