Simon has exhibited internationally, including New York, Santa Fe, Berlin and Haifa. His work is found in prominent museum collections such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, California. Simon's forthcoming solo exhibition, Color and Time, will be held at [http://www.galeriajavierlopez.com/ Galería Javier López] in Madrid, Spain.

In the 1990s, Simon began using digital software coding, which he writes himself, to create visual imagery. His screen works display digital abstractions that vary infinitely due to random sequencing. Because the pieces are software based, the visual elements are generated in real time.

More recently, Simon has made a series of large-scale compositions that incorporate laser-cut Formica and LCD screens with perpetually changing software. Each LCD screen is housed in cabinet-like structure made from Formica, which is also created by Simon’s coding. In addition to his screen work, Simon is also known for his Formica cutouts, drawings on paper and digital projections of his custom software.
