Soyun Park is a South Korean artist, researcher, designer, and educator based in The Hague, Netherlands. She’s interested in the failures of technology and the performing body through fictional thinking.

She creates experiences with time-based media and her work revolves around collaboration and takes the form of experiments with video, installation, performance, and various new media and technologies. Leading a community-driven studio RGBdog, she also teaches at educational institutions globally with her passion towards education.
