Maya B. Kronic & Amy Ireland

A key member of technomaterialist transfeminist collective Laboria Cuboniks (best known for their 2015 text 'Xenofeminism Manifesto: A Politics for Alientation'), theorist and experimental poet Amy Ireland is an editor and translator at UK-based contemporary philosophy publisher Urbanomic. Most recently, Ireland penned the foreword to Gruppo di Nun's 'Revolutionary Demonology', an "anthology of occult resistance" that examines the dawn of the Digital Middle Ages, and the politics of contemporary magical thinking.

The co-director of research and development at Urbanomic, a British publisher and arts organization that advocates for philosophical thinking as a creative practice, Maya B. Kronic is motivated by hyperstition (self-fulfilling prophecies that become real as they proliferate), gender accelerationism and cuteness. They edited last year's 'Sonic Faction', a book that explores the potential of the audio essay, featuring contributions from Steve Goodman (aka Kode9), Kodwo Eshun, Shelley Trower and others.
