Born 1987, Tulsa, OK | Based in Denver, CO Zoid Hæm is a multimedia artist and poet whose work fuses photography, poetry, digital art, and immersive media. Rooted in Afrofuturism and auto-ethnography, his practice reimagines Black cultural narratives through myth, technology, and speculative design. As the first student to earn a dual Master’s in Art Practices and Business from CU Boulder, Zoid explores the intersection of art and economic innovation. Photography and painting are both central to his work, serving as both documentary tool and portal, capturing history while distorting time and memory. His lens and brush construct living archives and speculative ecosystems that challenge dominant narratives. As the founder of Zoid Art Haus (ZAH), he integrates storytelling, AI, and interactive design to create communal spaces—both digital and physical—where art, economics, and culture intersect. His ultimate aim is to build visual mythologies that redefine Black American history, identity, and futurity. Instagram: @zoidham zoidarthaus.com
