Advance Reconnaissance: International Necronautical Society (INS)
Sparwasser HQ, Offensive for Contemporary Art - Berlin, DE Germany

  Launched in 1999 in London with a bombastic Manifesto declaring that death is a type of space, the International Necronautical Society (INS) is a pseudo-bureaucratic organisation that, appropriating and re-purposing both Soviet and corporate systems and the defunct structures of early twentieth century avant-gardes, operates in what INS General Secretary Tom McCarthy has called the ‘mediasphere’. Interventions to date have included the re-enactment in a Dutch wind tunnel of a Mafia shootout (2001), public Committee Hearings into Transmission, Death and Technology (2002), the infiltration of the BBC website (2003) and the setting up of a Broadcasting Unit at London’s ICA (2004). This last project, which involved world maps and more than fifty agents in an elaborate text and data processing set-up, merged scenes from Jean Cocteau's 1950 film Orphee with William Burroughs's world of control rooms to produce a constant stream of cut-up, lyrical, crackling propaganda which was transmitted on FM radio in the London area and via the internet to collaborating stations in Europe and America.
