Markeith Chavous is a media artist and poet whose work plies into perceptual, viscerally embedded meaning and the narrative and poetic latency of landscapes. His work functions in that transformative latency, charting and uncharting the malleable paths of the interior, between dichotomies and distinctions—between stillness and change; narrative and documentary; painting and video; receding and becoming; religion and spirituality; humanism and transcendence. This takes form as reflective media installations, videos, and poetry in various allusive permutations. The hope is that his work functions as a sort of 'living document', precariously positioned; resonant, yet wary of its own fading articulation.

His video work and installations have been presented internationally at the Film and Moving Image Festival in Scotland, at the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (CICA) Museum in South Korea, and in the US at the Emery Arts Center and the Lewiston-Augusta Film Festival in Maine, the New Studio A.D in New Mexico, and in Los Angeles. His poetry has been widely published in international journals and anthologies such as NOON: An Anthology of Short Poems, Modern Haiku, BONES, The Heron's Nest, KAMIHIKOUKI, HAIKU 2016, and Haiku 21.2: an anthology of contemporary English-language haiku, in 2025.

He holds a BFA in Studio Art from the University of Maine at Farmington, and an MFA in Film & Video from the California Institute of the Arts.
