It is not to be overlooked: For the "Stamp Day 1999", Prof. Otto Stefferl condenses the food for thought with which he has presented himself since 1991 through the presentation of artistic miniatures with timeless, universally valid questions of humanity and its development, its life forms and the resulting Dealing with problems. Otto Stefferl's artistic miniature for the "Stamp Day 1999" refers to an extremely serious facet of our modern everyday life and points out: For some time now, the whole world has had to live with the fact that human power of ideas can no longer be mastered to an unprecedented extent Consequential effects has developed hardly predictable force ideas and undoubtedly can continue to develop. If, for example, the currently current discussion about the possibilities of gene manipulation is oppressive enough, nothing communicates this idea more forcefully than the memory of the effects of released nuclear power. Whether explosively unleashed or creeping into the house through the back door, nuclear power only knows losers in the long run, because there is no escape from their boundless, insidious radiation. "Reason becomes nonsense, benevolence Pity, hurts the fact that you are a grandson": Did Goethe long ago have guessed what self-defeating forces that will be effective for generations will be able to develop mankind? The startling message that Prof. Stefferl sends us along with the stamp of the "Stamp Day" should definitely make us think.
