Profile

Clara Boj & Diego Diaz

Clara and Diego have been working together since the year 2000. They see their activity as research work wherein they blend contemporary art, the city, entertainment and technological experiment. Their latest projects are centred on the design of strategies that redefine public space and activate citizen's participation by means of resorts and mechanisms that are both conceptual and technological. The new digital formats for entertainment and its transfer to the urban space are the basis of some of their well-known work, such as Hybrid Playground, a system for the temporary tactic transformation of children's playgrounds into digital game devices.

Their work has been presented at international festivals and exhibitions, such as Gateways 2011 (Kumu, Tallinn, Estonia), Invisible Fields 2011 (Ars Santa Monica, Barcelona), Extimitat 2011 (Es Baluard, Palma Mallorca), Paisatge? 2010 (Bolit, Girona) Transmediale 2010 (Berlin-Germany), MobileFest 2009 (Sao Paulo, Brazil), Ars Electronica 2011 and 2008 (Linz, Austria) Banquete (ZKM, Karlsruhe, Germany), File 2009 (Sao Pablo, Brazil), Big Day Out 2008 (Australia), ISEA06 (San Jose, California), ISEA04 (Helsinki), Feedback (La Laboral-Gijon), Digital Paradise (Daejeon Museum, South Korea), among others.

Clara Boj and Diego Díaz are also lecturers at the University of Murcia and James I University in Castellón, respectively.
