The International Society Necronautical has been nourished by the faded avant-garde movements of the last century, whether artistic, cultural, or political. A German volume of texts Wir sind alle Nekronauten, immer schon gathers a selection of official communications from the INS from 1999 to 2010, meticulously documenting their manifestos, reports, statements, meetings, and trials. “We are sometimes asked: How do I join? How does one become a necronaut? Wrong question. As Paragraph Three, lines five and six of the INS's First Manifesto make clear, willfully pilfering and re-using the tired language of deconstruction, ‘We are all necronauts, always, already.’” Our mission is to disseminate that fact: not as conceptual knowledge but rather in the way that Molly Bloom fills her husband’s mouth with seedcake, then repeats that moment, with a silent Yes.” An English volume from the INS, The Mattering of Matter, Documents from the Archive of the International Necronautical Society was published by Sternberg Press in October 2012. In the October 2014 issue of Art Forum, the INS published the Declaration on Digital Capitalism.

  • Page 6 of the New York Post mentioned Courtney Love's appearance at the book launch for Critchley and Jamieson's The Hamlet Doctrine under the title, All About Love for Courtney.
  • Press Releases of the Dead: Throughout October 2009 media types around the country received cardboard tombstones cutouts to celebrate the release of The Book of Dead Philosophers.
  • The Dead Philosophers' Limbo is Susie Burpee's twelve-hour dance to the life of ideas and the death of philosophers as told by the living philosopher Simon Critchley in his book, The Book of Dead Philosophers.
  • Askmelissa.com: How do you applaud the launch of Simon Critchley's Book of Dead Philosophers? With a séance, of course! At least that's how the Accompanied Literary Society chose to celebrate at an out-of-this-world party at Bobo.
  • Under the name of Critchley & Simmons, Critchley has produced a CD called Humiliation (2004) and a series of short films. This project was launched in an event at the Sydney Opera House in August 2004.
  • Critchley gave the name The Bleach Boys to a Hitchin-based band previously known as The Fur Coughs.
  • Critchley played guitar in a number of North Hertfordshire bands including The Good Blokes and Social Class 5 .
  • Critchley is a devotee of football, and has since a young child been a keen supporter of Liverpool FC. He has taken this lifelong love into his philosophical work, giving a lecture at Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki, in May 2009 on French football star Zinedine Zidane, ”A puppet or a god? On Zidane”, based on Douglas Gordon and Phillipe Parreno's film Zidane, A 21st Century Portrait from 2006.
  • In 2011, Critchley co-directed (with Brad Evans) Ten Years of Terror in recognition of the ten-year anniversary of September 11. Ten Years of Terror examines the theoretical, empirical, and aesthetic dimensions of violence and the ensuing state of terror it produces. This series of reflections by key canonical thinkers such as Saskia Sassen, Michael Hardt, Noam Chomsky, Zygmunt Bauman, and others closely examines the enactment and ramifications of violence in our modern times. The film was shown at the Guggenheim in September 2011.
  • The Last Word, Seven-Hour Finale: Critchley co-hosted the closing of the exhibit Maurizio Cattelan: All at the Guggenheim Museum in New York on Saturday January 21, 2012.
