Hailing from New Delhi, India, Pranya is a new-media theorist and code poet based in Toronto, ON. She graduated with distinction from the MA Digital Futures program at OCAD University, over which period she expanded her artistic practice to involve interactive installations, walking simulators, collaborative workshops, and live performance while retaining employment as a teaching assistant. Their writing seeks the loci of the interdependence of desire and gender, in critical examination of the politics of embodied pleasure aligned with the legacy of cyber-feminism, the fruits of which can be sampled in the manifesto The Elastic Self. A new materialist understanding of post-human and non-human intelligences, embedded in and drawing from nature, feeds everything she creates.
