Paul D. Miller is a conceptual artist, writer, and musician and a key figure on the NYC art scene. His written work has appeared in The Village Voice, The Source, Artforum, Raygun, Rap Pages, Paper Magazine, and a host of other periodicals. He was also the first Editor-At-Large of the cutting edge digital media magazine "Artbyte: The Magazine of Digital Culture." Miller's work as an artist has appeared in a wide variety of contexts such as the Whitney Biennial, The Venice Biennial for Architecture - 2000, the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, Germany, Kunsthalle, Vienna, The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and others museums and galleries.
But even with all this, Miller is most well known under the moniker of his "constructed persona" as "Dj Spooky that Subliminal Kid" who uses a wide variety of digitally created music as a form of post-modern sculpture. Miller has recorded a huge volume of music as "Dj Spooky that Subliminal Kid" and has collaborated a wide variety of pre-eminent musicians and composers such as Kool Keith a.k.a. Doctor Octagon, Killa Priest from Wu-Tang Clan, , Yoko Ono, Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth and many others.
In addition to his numerous records and articles released under the name "Dj Spooky that Subliminal Kid", Miller's most recent projects include the "Unfinished Stories" - a three way collaborative effort between Pulitzer Prize winning NY Times Critic At Large, Margo Jefferson, and Francesca Harper (a dancer and choreographer who is the principal dancer with Bill Forsythe's Frankfurt Ballet company.) “Unfinished Stories” premiered at Harvard University under the auspices of Anna Deavere Smith's Institute on the Arts and Civic Dialog. Another recent project was a collaboration with Bernard Tschumi, Dean of Columbia University's architecture department, and author of "Praxis: Event Cities". This piece debuted at the Venice Bienniale of Architecture - 2000.
