players "rendering its final form blitzed and unintelligible" (Julian
Myers, Frieze magazine), phosphor burn-in images and totally misplaced video
and sound works.
A self publishing book will

José Miranda and Julian Myers on Simoes' work and will be launched at the
closing reception, Nov 26th. 6 - 8 pm.
