Ief Spincemaille explores perception and the immaterial through multisensory sculptures and objects. His works can be worn, handled, or played with, often fostering social interaction. Working in both traditional art contexts and public space, he investigates how art can exist in daily life and emerge through human exchange, at the intersection of technology, poetry, philosophy, and science.
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).
In 2010, Kurt D'Haeseleer and Spincemaille founded Werktank, an organization dedicated to new and old media art. www.werktank.org
