Description. "Existentialism and the Illusion of 
Choice" The theme was probably chosen after 
reading Albert Camus' L'Étranger for a French 
class, and deciding that at least the familiarity 
of the idea of existentialism would give most of 
my contributors a steady toehold upon which to 
improvise with their fruitful minds. In our view, 
they did not disappoint. Also, this issue was 
assembled in the middle of a period when our 
strongest and most reliable contributors were 
participating in the project, and many fragments 
seem part of continua of fragments found in 
previous and future issues. (The numbering at the 
end of each of the regular columns alludes to 
this.) In addition to the graphics on the front 
and back cover, regular contributor Thomas Wiloch 
also offers up another installment of his "Codes 
and Chaos" column. A significant graphic series, 
which appears at the start of the issue, is the 
work of P. Petrisko, Jr, and frequent contributor 
Guy R. Beining also contributes a series of eight 
collages in his inimitable style. Christopher 
Erin, whose work in these pages is generally 
visual, here contributes the text "Dada: Suicide 
as an Art Form." Another Important text, 
"Censorship: The Oldest of Suppressed Traditions" 
is penned by John Berndt.

Contributors include. Thomas Wiloch, Tom Hibbard, 
Alessandro Aiello, P. Petrisko Jr., Eric Gunnar 
Rochow, Guy R. Beining, Thad Metz, Hilare 
Moderne, Karen Eliot [John Berndt], The 
Tape-beatles, Uta-Maria Krapf, Thom Metzger, John 
Stickney, Musicmaster, Janet Janet, Arturo 
Guiseppe Fallico, Jürgen O. Olbrich, Lang 
Thompson, Bob Grumman, Christopher Erin, Tim 
Coats, Geof Huth, Mark Rose.

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.
