Margot Pilz (born 1936, Haarlem, Netherlands) is an Austrian visual artist and a pioneer of conceptual and digital art in Austria. She was one of the first Austrian artists to combine computers and photography. Her works reflect the avant-garde culture of the 1960s and 1970s in their experimental techniques and performative aspects.[2] Her work received renewed attention in the 2010s.[3]

Pilz's photographs have been described as "one-second sculptures"[4] or "flash-sculptures".[5] She often chooses feminist approaches, addressing taboos, stereotyping,[6] and environmental concerns. In this regard, her work has been compared to that of Valie Export.[7] Much of her work is autobiographical.[8] She has received a number of awards, including the Theodor Körner Prize (1990).[1]
