  Description. "Production, Not Reproduction."  Inspired by a quote by 20th-
  century design and photography master László Moholy-Nagy, the stated theme
  of this issue is a continuation of the set of ideas that can even be seen,
  if dimly, in the first few issues: that of turning a process intended for
  reproduction into a device for originating expressive content. Implicit in
  this stance, we felt, was a critique of the commonplace mental sets normally
  found in the businesses and institutions where xerox machines and multilith
  presses found their homes. We were saying that those who could afford to
  equip themselves with such devices lacked the vision to use them well. We
  felt it was up to us to apply imagination to the task of using these
  powerful communication tools, and finding in them a certain virtuosity. This
  quasi-political (or at least socio-critical) attitude is reflected in the
  choice of many of the works that appear in this, and preceeding, issues of
  the series.

  Project Overview: The Photostatic Retrograde Archive serves as an electronic
  repository for a complete collection of PhotoStatic Magazine, PhonoStatic
  Cassettes, Retrofuturism, and Psrf, (as well as related titles). Issues are
  posted as PDF files, at more or less regular intervals, in reverse
  chronological order to form a chronological mirror image of the original
  series. When the first issue, dating from 1983, is finally posted in several
  year's time, then this electronic archive will be complete.
