/ Jack Dolan /

Jack Dolan is an English writer, journalist, and sound artist whose work chiefly explores the intersections of post-Nietzschean metaphysics within the framework of sovereignty and technology. Drawing on formative studies in Media & Literature at Bangor University (2016), his work focuses on philosophy, music, and media culture, with essays, interviews, and articles — most notably for Public Pressure — reflecting on the dynamics of creative composition in relation to the metapolitical currents informing the present age. As founder of Icelation Works, this profile curates the full body of his literary and journalistic work.

Main interests: ontology, aesthetics, perennialism, etymology, metaphysics, Nietzsche
