"His anticipatory insights are documented in his artworks, books and exhibitions shortly after they were made. They regularly find confirmation in the fact that, independent of Liedtke's art and research, years later leading natural scientists in a wide variety of fields of science provided proof of Liedtke's findings through new studies. In 2000, the neurobiologist Eric Kandel was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for his research results, which were anticipated by Dieter W. Liedtke's artwork by 20 years as well as documented in his book: "The Consciousness of Matter" (published in 1982). The researchers Andrew Fire and Craig Mello received the Nobel Prize in 2006 for their 1998 discovery of how information controls genes, thus confirming D. Liedtke's artwork of the 1980s: that genes and gene programmes can be switched on and off."

"The targeted intervention and rapid acceleration of biocultural evolution that would thus be possible would probably far eclipse all current possibilities of cloning. Viewed precisely, the art open's formula of "life + expansion of consciousness = art" describes perhaps even a theoretical concept on the biocultural evolution of humans as a whole."
