In 1984 Donna Kossy launched False Positive (1984-1988) a self published zine that delved into obscure and unconventional ideas, establishing her interest in documenting societal outliers. She released a total of 11 issues between 1984 and 1988, each spanning 20-32 pages, blending visual experimentation with textual excerpts from unconventional sources. An archive of fringe culture filled with eccentric personalities and belief systems documenting fringe thinkers, cultural oddities, Discordian ideologies, pseudoscience, conspiracy theorists and profiling "Kooks" who espoused extreme, aberrant and discredited viewpoints. The zine employed xeroxed and stapled production methods, emphasizing the punk counterculture DIY aesthetics typical of 1980s underground publishing.
