The group Interzone has been created in August 1997, from William Burroughs' and Brion Gysin 's readers who expressed themselves in the Memorial dedicated to him in Malcolm Humes' site, "The William Burroughs' Files". Those readers accepted my offer to send them for free plans of Brion Gysin's Dreamachine (http://www.inter-zone.org/dm.html)which I had drawn in 1981.
They sent me in return their own creations (literature, musics, graphism, etc.) around Burroughs and Gysin; we started to exchange e-mails on our respective works and decided to get organized in a net. We created sites bound together : the Interzone Ring (http://www.interpc.fr/mapage/westernlands/Interzone-links.html).
We felt ourselves as a community and then got organized to fulfill our human needs at different levels and have applied the burroughsian relational model of the Johnson Family, based upon complementarity and mutual assistance. Our slogan : "The Zone takes care of its own."(http://www.inter-zone.org/manifesto.html)
We also undertook exchanges on our respective experiments on Burroughs and Gysin's works : cut-ups, synchronicities, Third Mind, differents treatments in the frame of detoxification cures, etc., through the light of our different cultures and domains of knowledge : a part of those documents are gathered in the site Interzone Academy.

Ten years later, Interzone has more than 500 members in the whole world. We are getting organized for the production and the distribution of our works. They have been made freely, and the self-production reveals itself, thanks the technology of Internet, much less expensive than the classical means: see the catalogue on line http://www.inter-zone.org/catal1.html , and the questions we are asking ourselves to find an economical organization which respects the structure and the spirit of the group : http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Crete/9445/economy.html .
We have produced 8 tomes of an anthology "The Time of the Naguals", audio and video tapes, CD, compilations of the musics of the group, and we have an important amount of original pictures of William Burroughs and Brion Gysin, , of collages and illustrations., etc. The complete versions of the books are gathered in the site Interzone Library http://www.geocities.com/interzonelibrary/, as well as the comix, on line at http://www.geocities.com/interzonebd/
The details of the activities of the group since its start is related in the monthly reports at Information on Interzone http://www.interpc.fr/mapage/westernlands/infzone.html
The sites below contain the set of our activities during 10 years. The whole is huge and one can spend days and days to explore them all.
Thanks for visiting them. Feed backs welcome at i.aubert@interpc.fr
