Spincemaille’s practice centers on the creation of sculptures that invite active engagement from the viewer. He creates wearable objects that manipulate perception,  alternative instruments for navigating time and space and large-scale sculptures placed in the public realm to explore other (social) realities.

The work is driven by a sense of wonder for physical phenomena such as the falling of night, the shifting length of days, sunrise, the moon and the sky. Equally, it is inspired by human relationships that lie far from his immediate world as an artist. Spincemaille’s sculptures function as tools to explore the unfamiliar and unknown.

He creates projects in prisons, bicycle factories, and neighborhoods, as well as in institutional contexts such as black box settings and white cube environments. His practice exists at the intersection of art, design, media art, technology, and philosophy.

His atelier is based in Leuven (Ateliers Minnoye) and Brussels (Objects with Narratives – OWN Ateliers). 

In 2010, Kurt D'Haeseleer and Spincemaille founded Werktank, an organization dedicated to new and old media art.  www.werktank.org
