The International Society of Copier Artists (I.S.C.A) was a non-profit group founded by Louise Neaderland in 1981, intended to promote the work of copier artists and to advocate for the recognition of copier art as a legitimate form.
Complete set of this unique periodical of which each issue consists of an assemblage of photocopied-prints, turned into original artwork by various techniques (colouring, collage etc.), numbered and signed, by artists who use the photocopier as a creative tool, including colour copying. Directed by Louise Neaderland. Contribs.include Anne Gilman, Susan Gold, Ralph Neaderlan, Keiichi Nakamura, Eiichi Matsuhashi, Lisa Reichenberger, etc.; final issue: "War and Peace".
The I.S.C.A. Quarterly was published from 1982-2003. Typically, issues were produced in limited editions of 200 copies, with an average of 45 pages of original copier art supplied by I.S.C.A. members. Over the years the form of the Quarterly mutated from a collection of unbound pages to a spiral bound journal with an Annual Bookworks Edition composed of a box of books made by I.S.C.A. members. The work produced for the Quarterly ranged widely in focus from social and political issues to personal and emotional themes. The final issue (Volume 21, #4) was published in June 2003.

“A.D. 2200” is a poignant tribute to 22-year-old Guinean immigrant Amadou Diallo, who was shot dead by four plain-clothed members of the New York City Police Department in February, 1999.
Diallo, a street merchant by day and student by night, was outside his apartment in the Bronx on the night of February 5 when he was spotted by four NYPD officers who believed he matched the description of a serial rapist who had been active in the burrough. The officers alleged that they had identified themselves clearly to Diallo, who had run; claiming to have mistaken the wallet he was carrying for a gun, the officers fired a total of 41 shots, 19 of which hit Diallo. Racial profiling, gross negligence and other civil rights violations by the officers were alleged.
All four officers were indicted for second-degree murder, but were subsequently acquitted by a jury in Albany, New York in February 2000, after the trial was moved due to claims that media coverage of the shooting had made a fair trial in New York City impossible. Diallo’s family were awarded a $3,000,000 settlement from the City of New York in a subsequent wrongful death claim.
