==== Playfool ====

Playfool is an artist duo formed by Daniel Coppen (UK) and Saki Maruyama (JP). Through the medium of play, their practice explores notions of agency in relation to technology. Understanding play as a form of epistemological inquiry, their work invites people for critical engagement and reimagination of technology, often taking the form of spatial installations, interactive devices and digital / analog games.

Playfool's works have been awarded in both the Dezeen Award (2021) and STARTS Prize (2024), and have been exhibited internationally including at the Victoria and Albert Museum (London, 2023), Ars Electronica (Linz, 2024), and MAK - Museum for Applied Arts (Vienna, 2019-2025).

==== 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 the Moth's Quantum Brush application, which bridges quantum computing with visual media, and which is also showcased in Berlin Science Week. During their MSc in Creative Computing at the UAL Creative Computing Institute, they explored the intersection of physical computing and quantum computing, bringing post-humanist ideas to life through the installation '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 Quantum After Dark in Science Gallery, greeting more than 700 people. The project uses a custom 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.
