General Secretary: Tom McCarthy
Office of Anti-Matter, ACI
21 March–4 April 2001

The INS was launched in 1999, with a manifesto declaring: 'Death is a type of space, which we intend to map, enter, colonise and, eventually, inhabit.' Using the Office as temporary headquarters, the INS held a series interviews with writers, philosophers, artists and performers whose work engages themes which resonate with the concerns of the INS. The interviews were open to the public and transcripts are published online.
