A Bay Area/Colombian multi-disciplinary artist, Praba Pilar has worked on multiple projects in the public sphere through performances, installations, and interactive projects.

Since 2006 Ms. Pilar has been presenting the Church of Nano Bio Info Cogno, a satiric multi media intervention into the messianic rapture surrounding the singularity and other effects of the technology revolution, at Center for the Arts at Yerba Buena, UC Irvine, the Radical Philosophy Association and multiple universities and performance spaces. Recent work has focused on the effects of information and communication technologies on women around the world. She is currently exhibiting work from a series titled Cyber.Labia, which is an extended “cyber-talk” on gender, race and technologies. This series has culminated in prints and an art book of interviews with cyberworkers and theorists, scripts, images and a companion DVD. Over 2004-06 Ms. Pilar toured her solo performance, Computers Are A Girl’s Best Friend to Sweden, Montreal, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle and Albany. This performance counters the sexiness of the computer industry by disrobing the truth of the exportation of toxic electronic waste to Asia; net based gyno-slavery; net based trafficking, telesexuality; Real Dolls and other extraordinary aspects of the computer revolution.
