Artist Annet Couwenberg posed the question, “Are we becoming an extension of the machine or the other way around?” as she began a unique collaboration in Fall 2020 with UMBC engineering students led by Professor of Mechanical Engineering Tim Topoleski with the assistance of software developer and engineer Alan Grover to create her interactive sculpture Cleft.

Annet Couwenberg, Alan Grover, Dr. Topoleski, and participating students will discuss more about the process behind Cleft’s creation, which is on view in her exhibition Annet Couwenberg: Sewing Circles at the Center for Art, Design, and Visual Culture at UMBC until December 11, 2021. The conversation will be moderated by Lori Rubeling, curator of the exhibition and Professor of Art and Communication Design at Stevenson University. The Youtube Live link will be provided as soon as it's created.
