The International Necronautical Society
Thes guys seem to be right up my alley, and maybe yours too - Ballardian, Pynchonian, Burroughsian, Situationist and NSK style deadpan all in one.

"International Necronautical Society (INS)
Launched in 1999 by Tom McCarthy, the International Necronautical Society (INS) is an expansive, networked organisation that slides between the worlds of art, fiction, philosophy and media.
Formed through the appropriation and repurposing of a variety of art forms and cultural 'moments', in particular the now-defunct structures and procedures of early twentieth century avant-gardes (the manifesto, autocratic top-down management etc.) and political organisations (the Soviet-style committee, sub-committee and sub-sub-committee, Hearings, Reports etc.), the INS spreads itself as both conceit and actuality (often blurring these into one another) via a series of residencies, publications, lectures and performances and collaborations with other artists and institutions.
The INS is currently concentrating on notions of encryption and transmission, inscription and erasure, surveillance and death. INS is now preparing a publication following the installation of INS's first Broadcasting Unit (ICA, London, 2004) and the Aerial Reconnaissance Phase of its Inspectorate mission in Berlin (Sparwasser HQ, Berlin, 2005)"
