Stop Press: For a glance at a remarkable (and hellish) art
gallery website designed in Slovakia by a young Australia spending
2001 there, Joel Byrnes, go to the URL below. The website needs FLASH
plugin to be appreciated, and is rather slow to load, but worth it.
The sound and visual effects are intriguing, and the better your
equipment, the better the effect. Highly recommended -Ed.
