Díaz seeks to use media and technologies as catalysts of socio-political change.[1] His latest project BOAR presents the site-specific robotic performance robot by Federico and novelist and technologist, J.M.Ledgard. SPOT, a robot developed by Boston Dynamic, imitates a wild boar through artificial intelligence (AI).
Díaz's long-term project, "Big Light," follows an ongoing series of presentations pressing topics of relationship between nature, humankind, and the vision of conscious machines equipped with a highly developed AI.[2]
From 2007 to 2014, Díaz was the head of the Supermedia Studio at Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague.
