Bio
Ethan Miller's interests surround code, free culture, data visualization, mapping and sustainable practices. He has a background in canvas painting, but, after becoming acquainted with various web development tools has shifted his focus to media arts. The far reaching changes that the internet, FOSS, and participatory culture are introducing to our societies are much too fascinating to ignore.
