Ief Spincemaille develops objects and instruments that function as performative tools – they are worn, used, or experienced. His work emerges from the interaction between human/context and object, inviting play, reflection, and encounter.

He operates at the intersection of art, design, media art, technology, and philosophy. His creations – often playful, outsized, or conceptually layered – are intended to open up social spaces and make alternative realities tangible. They invite slowness, a shift in perception, and new ways of being.

His work takes place both within museums and in public or social contexts. He continuously explores new domains in which art can function as a tool for connection, wonder, and transformation.

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
