Václav Janoščík

Václav Janoščík is a theorist, professor, and curator focusing on pop-philosophy, vernacular (popular) ontologies, speculative history, the democratization of contemporary art and thinking, political ecology (of affects), philosophy of technology and media, and gaming. He works at the Faculty of Art and Design at UJEP, UMPRUM in Prague, The New Centre, and the University of New Haven. In his pedagogical, curatorial, philosophical, and artistic practice, he connects contemporary philosophy, visual art, and popular culture. One of his aims is to bridge the critical legacy of art and philosophy with broader culture and topical issues of today, such as identity politics, technology, and affective ecologies.
