Description. "The Photocopier as a Moral Dilemma." The Art Strike 
(1990-1993) continues to enjoy its long run as a potent topic for 
debate in this issue. Many in the Dialog section express distaste for 
the tiresome back and forth, but, running the series backward as we 
are, you, the new reader of this series, should expect and be 
prepared for more to come. Issue responds in part to the aftermath of 
the Persian Gulf War, among other issues. In this regard, the Bureau 
of Public Secrets offers up the essay The War and the Spectacle. 
Beyond that, a substantial portion of pagespace is given over to 
Netlinks: International Networking Year, a proposal by mailartists 
for a series of Decentralized Worldwide Networking Congresses to be 
held during the following calendar year. A variety of mailart 
luminaries weigh in with their opinions and thoughtful musings on the 
proposal. Other items include essays by Ben G Price ('The 
Epistemology of Eschatology'), Barney Rubble ('Confessions of a 
Posterist') and Eliza Blackweb ('A New York Experience'), among 
others. Not to mention the numerous reviews of cassettes and printed 
pieces, and contributed graphics that readers have come to expect.

Contributors include. Mark Rose, The Tape-beatles, Karen Eliot, 
Esteban Felix, Eliza Blackweb, Eleutheros Productions, Thomas Wiloch, 
Ben G Price, Musicmaster, Piotr Szyhalski, Harry Polkinhorn, 
Crackerjack Kid, Walter Alter, Stephen Perkins, ASCW-IA, H R Fricker, 
=46aGaGaGa, John Held, Jr., Bureau of Public Secrets, Dadata, AR280, 
ASFi, Orworks, Vittore Baroni, Anton Viergever, Horizon Unlimited, 
Matthew Fuller, Ben Allen, Sensoria from Censorium, Ross Martin.

Project Overview: The Photostatic Retrograde Archive serves as a 
repository for a complete collection of Photostatic Magazine, 
Retrofuturism, and Psrf, (as well as related titles) in electronic 
form. We are posting issues in PDF format, at more or less regular 
intervals, in reverse chronological order to form a mirror image in 
time 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.
