| The Beauty Around Us
In Geneva, the M.A.D.
(mechanical art device) Gallery is a universe of kinetic art where machines
and mechanical devices reign supreme.
No, this is not a Rube Goldberg machine,
but rather a platform showcase that transforms commonplace mechanical
devices into art pieces.
Occasionally M.A.D. puts up an exhibit that
showcases sculpture and photographic talent.
Recently, for example, they showed the art
piece Clocks (Switzerland, what else?) created by Bosnian Miki Eleta.
Gutenberg –re-engineered by Dutchman
Maarten Van Der Ende, exhibited pictures near and dear to our hearts as
born & bred-newspaper people.
Bob Potts creates ethereal kinetic sculptures
in his inimitable style inside an old barn including (pictured below)
the very essence of natural rhythmical movements like the flight of birds
or the oars of boats.

Ulysse Fréchelin is a captivating look at the oft-missed beauty
all around us.
No beauty in trucks, you say?
Bite your tongue and look at these pictures.
The great Ulysse actually massages every
angle imaginable of those big rigs in a tour-de-force series of pictures—like
the goddess atop the hood of a Peterbilt, which can hang on your wall
for a mere $2,100 USD. The complete work with several pictures is available
limited edition.
