A few nice visual art images I found:

Manastire din sec. XVIII, putin cunoscuta si frecventata. Daca doriti o bisericuta in care sa aveti sanse sa fiti absolut singuri, micuta biserica a acestei manastiri e locul cautat. Bisericuta e veche si frescele nu sunt bine pastrate, dar e fermecatoare, si un bun loc pentru reculegere.
Am cerut cerut voie sa fotografiez maicutei de la intrare, si mi-a permis cu amabilitate, fara sa pretinda nimic in schimb.

A small, secluded eighteenth century orthodox monastery (now a nunnery), it is the place to go if you are looking for an old church where you can be alone with the icons and the cross – a place for a little solitude and meditation.
The mural painting in the charming little church is not so well preserved, but its patina can make you feel like you are in a time long, long ago.
The nice nun at the door graciously allowed me to take pictures inside the church.

These appliances and objects are normally situated behind the scenes of a performance or show. The machines often look like medieval instruments (of torture). At the same time, they are often high-technological objects, that fulfil complex functions. They form a large contrast with the extreme esthetical images that they produce.

The overview of machines by Kris Verdonck addresses the field of tension between man and machine in today’s society. What relationship can/must/do people want to enter into with technology? How difficult is the balancing act between human control and submission to machines?
