Robert Hengeveld is an artist and maker of things, living and working in the region of Elmastukwek, Ktaqmkuk (Corner Brook, Newfoundland.). His creative practice has taken on many different forms but exploring and experimenting with how we perceive and preconceive the world around us would be one way to summarize a given. The way this has been achieved is quite diverse ranging from roller coasters, swarm robotics, to the reimagining of collected beach plastics. This research often emerges through collaborative investigation, incorporating the expertise and insight of engineers, musicians, choreographers, poets, community members, and other artists.
