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.

Dear Students,
Please check out this Artist Open Call opportunity with OCA Mocha.
Visual Arts Department
Calling all Creatives -
OCA Mocha is accepting submission of mixed-media art that centers around the past and present for the upcoming October ‘Mixed Memories’ Exhibition. Anything that shares memories and stories that are of personal significance to the artist is acceptable.
Mixedmedia art allows us to explore different mediums while also unifying them. It gives us a chance to reshape traditional lenses that separate art. Art has always been a way to create new and old in the same space while also giving introspection into our lives and experiences. Right now as we come into a new world, with new social change, new guidelines in our day to day lives and new minds there is a heightened importance in being aware of the journey we take, the challenges we face along the way and the choices we make.
We are all products of our past and present, who we are today could not be if it were not for our past selves. New and old don’t exist as two opposites but as parts of a whole experience. Art imitates life and our lives happen in different phases and looks all in one - mixed media art imitates that same mix that exists in life.
At OCA Mocha, we’re invested in sharing different stories and perspectives from the community. After this past year’s multitudes of conflict, we’d like to give space for people to reflect back on times past and look forward together to our collective futures. OCA Mocha is looking for works that show the new and old, whether it be a recreation of memories or a projection into the future, we want to share the timeline that has shaped you.
Artists are invited to submit artwork— of any hangable medium— that uses a mix of mediums. All artists, regardless of location or experience, are encouraged to submit their best work.

Hello,
Our names are Drs. John Borrero, Mirela Cengher, and Adithyan Rajaraman. We are three Professors at UMBC who conduct research in behavior analysis, a branch of psychology in the human services field. We are developing a collaborative research laboratory and are looking for a logo that can be featured prominently in our physical lab space, as well as on our website and related materials and documents. Our lab is called the Center of Learning, Language, and Behavior (CoLLAB). At CoLLAB, we will work with children with intellectual, developmental, and emotional disabilities (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, intermittent explosive disorder) and their families. Our research is collectively focused on teaching individuals communication skills, social skills, and coping skills. Our group conducts participatory therapy, which means that we involve the entire family in developing teaching programs for the participating child. We don't view disabilities as something that families suffer from; rather, we aim to empower individuals and their families with skills and tools that will help them be successful.
We would like the logo to feature “CoLLAB” and to capture these values while also conveying a collaborative, inclusive, and diverse learning environment. The logo should be accessible and attractive to children, adults, and members of the UMBC community. Because we will use the logo across modalities (e.g., on a website, printed on the door of the Lab), we are looking for someone with expertise in media optimization.
Prerequisites: We are looking for students who can work independently, have declared graphic design as their major (BA or BFA), and have completed ART 334, 336, and 337.
If you are interested in designing our logo, please reach out to Dr. Adithyan Rajaraman at dithuraj@umbc.edu. We would love to see some samples of your past work and share more about our specific preferences and requirements.
Sincerely,
Drs. John Borrero, Mirela Cengher, and Adithyan Rajaraman
