Voidz is a Toronto-based digital and mixed reality artist known for creating videos that combine surreal digital animation with video footage of urban environments, and for projection art.
Career Voidz started posting digital animations to Instagram in 2018, combining real footage with digital animation to create surreal reinterpretations of Toronto streetscapes and landmarks. An early works was a digitally altered reinterpretation of Toronto's "Hooker Harvey's", which received coverage in local media. Other videos show outdoor city spaces where a sinkhole appears in the middle of an intersection, skyscrapers start dancing or sculptures spin.
Voidz collaborated with the musician Drake on a video that shows Drake on a basketball court, surrounded by floating, digitally animated basketballs as he shoots a hoop. His work on FKJ and Masego's Tadow 5th anniversary NFT project combined interactive digital art with a visual representation of the music-making process. In addition to his collaborations with musicians, Voidz has contributed to a group art exhibit hosted by Intel.
In 2023, Voidz produced and curated an official Nuit Blanche Toronto exhibition, at IDFK gallery, titled A Void: Meditations on a Boring Dystopia.
