Miller is a New York conceptual artist, writer, musician and a great thinker of the new generation of American artists. In cooperation with the legendary African American poet Steve Canon, he is the publisher of the magazine A Gathering of the Tribes, a periodical dedicated to new works by writers from a multi-cultural context.

A collection of his essays Rhythm Science was published recently, and the forthcoming Sound Unbound contains his observations on the arts of sound and multimedia.

As DJ Spooky he uses a wide variety of digitally created music transforming it, through unrestrained editing, into an artefact of the post-modern sculpture in time. Under this name he created a great musical opus and collaborated with numerous musicians and composers such as Yannis Xenakis, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Butch Morris, Kool Keitha a.k.a. Doctor Octogon, Killa Priest from Wu-Tang Clan, Yoko Ono and Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth. He also composed the music for the film Slam garnering awards at the Cannes and Sundance festivals.

His works leap from one context to another, and they are welcome in the pinnacles of contemporary art - Whitney Biennale, Venice Biennale for Architecture (2000), Ludwig Museum in Köln, Kunsthalle in Vienna , The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and many other museums and galleries.

The performance Rebirth of a Nation, based on the 1915 film by the great master D. W. Griffith The Birth of a Nation, deals with problems of law and order in America during The Civil War, and which was often contested for its racist subtext.

For Miller, an African American, The Birth of a Nation, one of the first blockbusters of all time, is, beyond any doubt, a racist film and a clear starting point for research of conditions in contemporary culture and the development of its civilization.

Remixing the film in a form of parallel projections and hip-hop cinema, using a wide range of music samples, Miller, live, comments on a hysterical course of interpretation.

This is a post-post-modern world and it estranges the past, giving it the status of an aesthetic toy, of ephemeral passes, but Miller does not abandon the silent wisdom of the old saying: those who do not understand the past are doomed to repeat it.

By digging out the archetypal footprints of our weird culture, remixing the most influential film from the pre-Internet era, in a way a DJ (as he is) would use a pop record, DJ Spooky uncovers the fossil measure of the future we now possess. Some things, according to another saying, are closer than they appear to be. With the news full of broken promises, ethnic oppressions, different threats, there's no better moment to revisit Griffith 's famous film in which all works on creating mythic oppositions - a nation threatened by foreign forces, the necessity of applying law, without taking into consideration local population, the exploitation as a political and social necessity. All these themes are present today, but their manifestations are radically sophisticated.

Rebirth of a Nation is a scenic gesture of a destructive contesting, not only of the history, but of the presentation of historical material and transmission of facts as well.

Rebirth of a Nation seeks to make us engage on numerous perspectives of a horrifying past and confronts us with the question, what do we think of a multi-cultural world that is being Americanized at an unexpected rate. The past is prologue. The basic question of this film is: What is America ? How do we live as global Americans? Rebirth of a Nation cares not for answers, but enjoys multiplying questions.
