About the Author

Hi, I’m Mauricio Loza, a designer, writer, and independent researcher interested in the history of Renaissance magic, religion, technology, and the ways in which these traditions continue to shape our political and cultural life.

I am the author of Contra el transhumanismo (2017) and The Hounds of Actaeon (Academica Press, 2020), an essay that was adapted in 2022 into the documentary series Eros Unchained, produced in collaboration with Gabriel García for CVLTO TV. In 2023, I published the novel Gasgurú with Orciny Press in Barcelona, ​​and its English translation will be published by the Australian publisher Wanton Sun in 2028. I am also the author of Syndrome/Collapse/Colony, an anthology of theory-fiction stories to be published by Ediciones Vestigio in 2027. I am currently part of the V( )RTX collective, where we are developing a collaborative project of hyperstitional practices entitled The Weird Commodity, whose first piece can be found here.

Since last year I have been developing part of my research at locusterribilis.com, a space that uses philosophy, art, literature and popular culture to map sovereignty and the incessant resurgence of its terrible place in different dimensions of contemporary life.
