Spincemaille’s work explores how we relate to the unknown and the other — to that which escapes understanding or control. This may involve sublime natural phenomena, abstract notions such as infinity, but also encounters with other people and worlds.

Through his practice, he examines how these confrontations with otherness can distort our perception of reality, evoking feelings of alienation, disorientation, or transcendence. At the same time, he explores how objects and situations can serve as instruments of reconnection, allowing us to relate once more to the other — and to reintegrate what has become estranged.

His works often invite lively interaction with the spectator or a personal sensory experience; they can be worn, experienced, or used. He works both in and outside the museum. 

His work has been exhibited internationally, including at Wiels (Belgium), Kasteel van Gaasbeek (Belgium), Guangzhou Biennale (China), Biennale des Arts Numériques (France), Nova Biennial (Brazil), Ars Electronica (Austria and Tokyo), Boxes Art Museum (China), OK Center (Linz), De Brakke Grond (Amsterdam), Felix De Boeck Museum (Belgium), Opéra de Paris (France), and the Festival de Marseille (France), among others.

His atelier is based in Leuven (Ateliers Minnoye) and Brussels (OWN Ateliers). 

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