HOME   EVENTS   SOFTWARE   INFO   CONTACT NO CARRIER, or Don Miller, is a visual artist and programmer living in Philadelphia. He reprograms nearly obsolete videogame and computer hardware for use at live music events and installations. He primarily codes for the Nintendo Entertainment System and Commodore 64, creating visual works that incorporate both new and recycled symbols and patterns. Miller has performed, lectured, and shown work in the US and Europe. His work simultaneously speaks to the emerging DIY technology culture, and the reminiscence of a generation raised on interactive media technologies. Miller performed in December 2008 for a second time at the Blip Festival, an international gathering of forty musicians and visual artists from around the world. In 2007 he designed and programmed the first NES albums ever to be released on game cartridges, for chip music musicians Alex Mauer and Phlogiston. He continues to release monthly invites in NES form for Pulsewave, the monthly chip music party held in NYC. In the last year his work has been seen at Colgate University's EcoArtTech, the 2008 Sperm Festival in Prague, and the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. In addition to performances, Miller has lectured and led workshops in the US and abroad on programming and creating audiovisual art and software on classic computers and gaming consoles. In February 2009 Miller's work was shown at the Nexus Gallery in Philadelphia for the Unintended Uses show, which features artists that use hacked or repurposed materials in their work. He is currently organzing and curating 8static, a monthly chip music event sponsored by the Hacktory in his hometown of Philadelphia. 8static's upcoming lineups feature musicians and visual artists from around the world. In the summer of 2009, Miller performed and lectured in Denmark and Poland with the 8bitpeoples artist collective at Blip Festival Europe and Era New Horizons Festival. He is currently a student at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts.
