Walter Benjamin, a European thinker, wrote The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction during the rise of Fascism. It was published in 1936. The essay deals with the way in which mechanical reproductive technology alters the original purpose and meaning of works of art. We are in the midst of a wave of digital technology. I encourage you to think about and draw connections in your mind between some of the issues Benjamin discusses regarding mechanical reproduction and the viral dissemination of digital media that is occuring today. please answer the questions below:
1) According to Benjamin, what is the historical trajectory of advancements in the mechanical reproduction of visual media?
2) Describe the way in which photography transforms notions of originality and authenticity in works of art according to Benjamin.
3) When Benjamin uses the term 'aura,' what does he mean? Furthermore, what happens to the 'aura' of an art object, as these objects are increasingly mass-reproduced.
4) According to Benjamin, what is the difference between 'cult value' and 'exhibition value.'
5) Finally, find a specific passage from the text that resonates with you and explain why?
