| Statements | ||
| Robert Estermann's precise way of formulating questions – that are, as fare as I see – of urgency to any cross disciplinary research in the technological society of our time, shows a very particular way of taking intellectual risks. His intellectual honesty makes his work incomparable with any known art practice and enables him tracing a completely new brand of social research. Eran Schaerf |
