CONFERENCE BY CLARA BOJ AND DIEGO DÍAZ

Digital encounters is a lectures program with the curator and the artists of the exhibition to make an introduction in digital art and an approximation into the "Extimacy" speech. On this occasion, the guests are the artists Christa Sommerer.

Clara Boj and Diego Díaz have been combining their individual artistic practice with projects in collaboration since 2000. Their work focuses mainly on the observation of the public space and the diverse (architectural, technological, functional, social…) transformations that derive from the incorporation of new media into the spaces of everyday life. They create installations that combine physical and virtual qualities in order to link the old and new forms of social relationship, between old and new communication spaces. They have been guest researchers at the Mixed Reality Lab in Singapore and the Symbiotic Systems Lab in Kyoto, Japan. Their work has been presented in several exhibitions including ISEA 04 (Nykytaiteen Museo Kiasma, Helsinki), “Interrupt” (Singapore Art Museum) and C.A.S.T (Singapore Art Museum), etc. They have also presented their research in symposia such as ACE04 (Advances in Computer Entertainment 04) and Ciber@rt04. Their work has also been presented at Ars Electronica in Linz (Austria), Transmediale (Berlin), ARCO (Madrid) and LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial (Gijón).
