Technu-Topia Malfunction
Praba Pilar y René Garcia
present new solo performances
8PM, Friday and Saturday, June 11, 12, 18 and 19 2004 at
the LAB 2948 16th St. at Capp, in San Francisco, CA
Praba Pilar presenta Computers Are A Girl's Best Friend
Computers Are A Girl's Best Friend, a ribald exploration of the contradictions that exist between the hyperbolic rhetoric of the computer industry and the dreadfully real effects on the lives of women. This piece will counter the sexiness of the computer industry by disrobing the truth of the exportation of toxic electronic waste to Asia; net based gyno-slavery; telesexuality, Real Dolls and other extraordinary effects of the computer revolution on the female subject. Appropriating the 1953 musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and the theme song Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend, Computers Are A Girl’s Best Friend introduces the glamorous 'Digital Diva.’ and features ribald musical theatre interspersed with monologues, audio of interviews with feminist cyber theorists Anne Balsamo, Paulina Borsook, and Sheila Davis of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition.

René Garcia premieres 9-1-BUY-1
On 9-11-2001 in Manhattan, NY two events took place: the deaths of thousands, and the launch of a new brand name: Homeland Security. On that fateful day a media blitz was unleashed for a new product: Terrorism. Under the name of Homeland Security, the “fight” against terrorism has become a financially lucrative export for US based multinational corporations.
Join René Garcia for “91BUY1”, a poly-media performative event which interrogates the commodification of terrorism now selling duct tape for ideology, plastic sheeting for fear, and gas masks for profits. We will virtuo-tour through terrorist hot spots around the globe! Take a safari through Tel Aviv! Defuse road side bombs in Baghdad! And embed yourself in the secretive guerrilla movement “The Axes of Evil"intent on pushing global warming into hyperactivity by cutting down the forests of the world “one tree at a time”. All the while enjoy commercial style advertisements in an immersive theatrical show.
