The artist, [[Ralph Rumney]] (1934-2002), who had known many of the original Parisian leaders, participated in one of the groups derived in [[London]] in 1995. He is credited with bringing the activities of the workshop to a wider audience. The workshop appears to have disbanded shortly after the release of the fourth and final issue of its journal ''Viscosity''. The journal is now infamous for having been selected by the [[K Foundation]] to announce their 23-year ban on all artistic practices.
British cultural commentator and activist [[Stewart Home]] became a champion of their unrestrained adventurism, including excerpts from the journal. These were published in a series of edited collections by Serpent's Tail. He became a expert in this.
"The Joker, the Incidental Game of Urban Poker", printed in "Mind Invaders", describes a game of poker played between cities from playing cards found in the street. "St. Andrews Arena", which appeared in the collection "[[Suspect Device]]", narrates one particular derivation that took place in [[Glasgow]] in 1993. Other references to the workshop's activities have appeared in articles by Home, notably in the journal ''Variant''.<ref>Home, Stewart.

"Mondo Mythopoesis", ''Variant'', Volume 2 Number 2 (Spring 1997), p7]</ref>
