On August 7, 1999, Tom McCarthy founded the International Necronautical Society INS with a public presentation of the Founding Manifesto, a touchstone that would inform the organization s proceedings for years to come. Composed of official committee members and illicit agents, the INS harks back to early 20th century avant gardes, producing declarations, reports, public hearings, broadcasts, and research documents. It also orchestrates more covert media infiltrations, all governed by the objective, set out in the manifesto, of mapping, entering, and occupying the space of death through literature, philosophy, culture, and technology. The  Mattering  of  Matter is a collection of INS documents produced between 1999 and 2010.
