Patrick Simons
is a composer and sound artist. He makes artistic enquiries into the
material world and tries to communicate his findings using many different
approaches to ‘knowing’.
He was a professional musician for eleven years, and also co-ordinated
and managed arts projects with various culturally diverse community
groups, Patrick is currently based at Falmouth College of Arts, Cornwall,
UK where he is a part-time tutor on the MA Interactive Art & Design
programme.
Producing work with new technologies since the early 1990s, he began
working with new media artist, Kate Southworth on Internet art projects
at the end of 2000 that explore a variety of personal, social and
historical phenomena using a variety of aesthetic, political, theoretical
and conceptual approaches. The space between their different approaches
is Glorious Ninth.
Glorious Ninth have exhibited net art projects at galleries and museums
including: Centre of Contemporary Culture, Barcelona; Evergreen Cultural
Centre, British Columbia, Canada; Irish Film Centre, Dublin; Watershed
Media Centre, Bristol and the Institute of Contemporary Art, London.
They are featured in several net art databases including Martin Wattenberg’s
