Astryd Park

Astryd Park is an artist, creative technologist, and Quantum Application Engineer at Moth - who has been creating artistic applications of quantum computing since 2020. Astryd’s interest is building systems/applications/solutions which bring creative side of cutting-edge technologies. For example, she is the creator of Moth’s Quantum Brush application, which bridges quantum computing with 2D visual media. During their MSc in Creative Computing at the UAL Creative Computing Institute, they explored the intersection of physical and quantum computing, bringing post-humanist ideas to life through the project 'Wie?: A Question from the Quantum Realm', which is showcased in CCI Winter Festival in Peckham, London. Most recently, they showcased their artwork 'Reality is Not What it Seems' at London Tech Week—the UK’s largest tech event, and at Science Gallery, greeting more than 700 people. The project uses a quantum 2D image encoding algorithm (QPIXL) to distort live video recordings, challenging perceptions of digital reality. Their creative practice spans moving image, kinetic sculpture, science fiction, graphic novels, and cinema music.
