The practice-led Internet art research project outlined in this paper began with a desire to articulate a Matrixial space within which encounters between ‘subject and object, among subjects and partial-subjects, between me and the stranger’1 could occur and re-occur. Making artwork with new technologies since the early 1990s I began working with sound artist, Patrick Simons on Internet art projects at the end of 2000. The shared space of our encounters is Glorious Ninth. Our work comes about through an inter-weaving of ethics and aesthetics. Aurally, visually and conceptually our pieces ebb and flow, and the elements within the pieces co-emerge and co-fade in everchanging patterns that constantly shift focus.
