Federico Díaz (activist)

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.

[3] Díaz was a lecturer at Masaryk University in Brno, where he took part in creating the Digital Media specialization at the Faculty of Social Studies.

[citation needed] Díaz received a special award from the Nicola Trussardi Foundation for his work "Generatrix" at Milano Europe Futuro Presente in 2001.

Recent works of importance have been included in the MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts (2010), and the 54th Venice Biennial (2011), a project in collaboration with the University of Cambridge (2017).

[14] Díaz's project "LacrimAu" at EXPO 2010 in Shanghai took the form of a glass cubicle containing a golden teardrop, with room for a single visitor.

[15] In 2013, Díaz started to experiment with printing mechanisms as tools for algorithmic paintings based on the pattern of movement of audience in the exhibition space.

[citation needed] A shift in Díaz’s perception of technology came with the project "Eccentric Gravity"[16] (2015) curated by Jérôme Sans and Jen Kratochvil, a site-specific architectural intervention in the historical Renaissance Royal Belvedere Pavilion.

Díaz’s long term project "Big Light" has been presented at the Brno House of Arts (2016) and in collaboration with University of Cambridge (2017).
