A Bay Area/Colombian multi-disciplinary artist, Praba Pilar has worked on multiple projects in the public sphere through installations, performances, and interactive projects.  Most recently Ms. Pilar has been focusing on the effects of information and communication technologies on women around the world. She is currently exhibiting work from a new series titled Cyber.Labia, which is an extended “cyber-talk” on gender, race and technologies. This series will culminate in an art book of interviews with cyberworkers and theorists, scripts, images and a companion DVD.  She is also one of three founding members of the former art group Los Cybrids: La Raza Techno-Critica. From 1999-2003 this artists junta worked to incite critical dialogue around the relationship between technology, capitalism, authority and civil society.  With Los Cybrids, Ms. Pilar produced performances, digital artworks, and video installations raising questions about evolving forms of ubiquitous computing, wireless connectivity, and the surveillance society with an emphasis on class, race and gender.  Her writing has appeared in Rebecca Solnit's Hollow City, and a new essay,  "Are All The Women Still White?" is forthcoming in the new volume Globalizing Women's Studies.
