Clara Boj and Diego Diaz have been working together since 2000. Their work critically engages new media technologies and the notion of public space within the hybrid city. Their main projects propose new devices (conceptual and technological) to reformulate the perception and experience of the urban environments. In this direction they like to bring their work directly to the street and provoke encounter between people, physical places and the digital space.
