Simons work in ambient music, film scoring and event curation led him todevelop an interest in visual arts, after visiting a local dump and noticing several perfect tube TVs he brought them back to his studio and hooked them up to visual projection mapping software Resolume. After been bared from the local dump and 40 TVs later he built a wall of TVs with 4 feeds of visuals. The TV walls first outing was used for Simons interactive immersive exhibition / performance‘ Memlab ‘ Memlab was a a fictional company that would harvest memories from live participants who would talk in to samplers via old phones under the impression that their memories were been preserved for future generations. At the end of the performance they realised they were duped into having their memories harvested for other people and would need a premium account to retrieve them. Since Memlab the TV wall has had two other outings with the collective Simon set up called ‘ Lost Vision Collective ‘ In 2025 The collective had an exhibition at the Kilkenny Arts festival. They put an open call out to film makers and visual artists to have their work shown onthe TV wall and appear in a Zine brochure documenting the event. Their were 20 successful applicants both Irish and International and the films were well received at both events.
