Individual evidence
- ↑ Cf. Texts No. 2 , Vienna 1983, p. 40: "We have two big goals! First, we want to distribute our works directly to individual people and promote contact between reader and author. Second, we want to try to get our works to one to make it known to a larger number of people, as it is often very difficult for an individual to come into the public eye ".
