Joanna Zylinska

In 2018 she published "The End of Man: A Feminist Counterapocalypse". It was a book and film which proposed a “feminist counter-apocalypse” as an alternative to the dangers of the "Exit Man", Artificial Intelligence and Populism.

Her 2017 book "Nonhuman Photography" deals with the subject of what she calls non-human imaging. She argues that we need to redefine image making to make it less human-centric. Art should include not only recent automated astronomy pictures, computational photography, Google Earth but also older created images such as fossils. She experiments herself with images and she is intrigued by the tragicomical idea of the "end of man".

Gary Hall (academic) together with Clare Birchall and Open Humanities Press, Żylińska helped create the Jisc-funded project starting in 2014 LivBL: Living Books about Life, a sustainable series of electronic open access books about life - with life understood both philosophically and biologically - providing a bridge between the humanities and the sciences. The books are open and can be updated on-line.

In 2013 she took on the role of curator when she oversaw as Artistic Director the large Latin American new media festival. The festival was titled, Transitio_MX05 Biomediations, and was held in Mexico City.
