His written work has appeared in The Village Voice, The Source, Artforum, Raygun, Rap Pages, Paper Magazine, and a host of other periodicals. His first collection of essays, Rhythm Science was included in several year-end lists of the best books of 2004, including the Guardian and Publishers Weekly.

Miller’s work as a media artist has appeared in a wide variety of contexts such as the Whitney Biennial; The Venice Biennial for Architecture; the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, Germany; Vienna; The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and other museums and galleries. His 2004 solo show at the Paula Cooper Gallery in New York, “Path Is Prologue,” echoed his live music/theater/film performance. “DJ Spooky’s Rebirth of a Nation,” continues to tour globally.

Miller is most well known under the moniker of his "constructed persona" as “DJ Spooky that Subliminal Kid,” recording a huge volume of music and collaborating with a wide variety of musicians and composers such as Butch Morris, Kool Keith, a.k.a. Doctor Octagon, Pierre Boulez, Killa Priest from Wu-Tang Clan, Steve Reich, Yoko Ono, and Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth.

Prior to that CD, he released Drums of Death, featuring Dave Lombardo of Slayer, Chuck D. of Public Enemy, Vernon Reid of Living Color, and Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto. His other recent albums include Optometry, a jazz project featuring Matthew Shipp, William Parker, Joe Mcphee, Carl Hancock Rux, Daniel Bernard Roumain, and High Priest; Dubtometry, featuring Lee “Scratch” Perry and Mad Professor; and Riddim Clash, a collaboration with Twilight Dub Sound System. He also recorded a two-CD megamix, Celestial Mechanix, featuring eleven DJ Spooky remixes.
