YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThis week, we continue our exploration of the work of Mark Fisher with an extensive interview with his friend and collaborator Robin Mackay.
Last week, we dipped our collective toe into the blogosphere of the mid-2000s, discussing hyperstition, 70s pulp sci-fi and some of Fisher's most enduring weird and eerie interests. Lurking in the background was Fisher's role as a member of the Ccru, and who better to discuss this period of activity with than Robin Mackay.
Mackay is a philosopher, translator and director of the hugely influential publishing house He also posts his own writings over at He has, since Fisher's death in 2017, reignited interest in the work of the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (Ccru) through the publication of their collected writings
Together, we talk about the Ccru, Robin's own work and interests, and also his more recent return to his collaborations with Fisher in the form of a newly haunted audiowork, "By The North Sea"
