Ricardo Miranda Zúñiga is an artist and professor living in Brooklyn, NY and teaching at The College of New Jersey. His artwork employs a wide range of methods, including the use of software tools 

such as Macromedia Flash and Adobe Illustrator. But unlike many who work with the same technology, Ricardo elevates content and meaning over technical virtuosity and the prepackaged 

effects associated with new software releases. Through his artwork, Ricardo effectively asks his audience to reconsider their current positions on sociopolitical events by creatively revealing a critical perspective on issues such as: the history of U.S. involvement in Central America, the plight of immigrants into the United States, and the ill effects of unmitigated globalization.
