Description. "Test Patterns for the Human Mind."
The current issue was a momentous one in our
history. It marked a decisive shift, away from
individual works generally displayed one per
page, toward attempts at more graphically complex
layouts and a greater than ever before dependance
on text for content. The issue takes the unusual,
if not unprecedented, form of two magazines in
one - marking, at the same time, the début of a
new "submagazine" called Retrofuturism, occupying
the bottom inch-and-a-fraction of each and every
page. Memorable works from this issue include a
series of images and texts by Steve Harp entitled
"Photographs within Photographs"; the short but
richly ironic "The Magritte Flashcard" by R.K.
Courtney; a splayed booklet by A1 Waste Paper Co.
Ltd. called "U-Make it (no talent)", which is a
satire on the Tuyau daily 'zines appearing at the
time; and all of this amply filled out by other,
often equally interesting works, as well as the
reviews, news, and opinions, as is par for this
particular course.

Contributors include. Ll. Dunn, T. Hibbard, Piotr
Szyhalski, Jack Moskovitz, Bob Gregory, Joseph
Keppler, Gregory Cullen, Steve Harp, A.1. Waste
Paper Co., Greg Zimmer, Thomas Wiloch; Joseph A.
Uphoff, Jr.; R. K. Courtney, Mike Miskowski, John

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.
