Ief Spincemaille creates works that can be worn, used, or experienced, and that often function as bodily and social events.

He is fascinated by everyday phenomena that exceed our capacity for comprehension, as well as by encounters with other social realities. 

He operates both within and outside the traditional cultural sector, combining technology and poetry with an intensive social practice.

His oeuvre consists of three series: works about time and light, perceptual instruments, and projects that explore alternative processes of creation and presentation.

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
