Evolution of the ability to reproduce works of art brings about the loss of its aesthetic value through its own credibility argument. Benjamin had called this value "halo" of a work of art, but as time went by, aura came ritually big meaning. As replication becomes easier, cheaper and faster this aura decreases and ritual value is replaced by the value of the exhibition: when more than there are, more people enjoy it You can do. Art has become a product.

At the same time, the role theme in this article is how to use the repeatable large list art as a tool to distract, confuse, manipulate the public. The movie is a central medium in which the value of artistic exhibitions reproduced is dedicated to the purpose of decentralization and operation. The key to influence the value of ideology is the impact effect Benjamin said. Since the brain can only hold a single image in a short time and only for a limited period of time, a constant stream of new images will not be able to retain the expected message sent by the filmmaker at the level of near subconscious experienced at the receiver To the viewer. Shocking recognition

A work of mechanical reproduction written by Walter Benjamin (1935, Das Kunstwerk im Zeitalter seiner technischen Reproduzierbarkeit) is a cultural critique thesis proposing that aura of a work of art is mechanically reproduced and devalued. The theme and theme of this article had a great influence on art history, architectural theory, cultural research, and media theory. During the German Nazi regime (1933 - 45), Benjamin wrote an essay on popular culture, creating an artistic theory that "helped form a revolutionary requirement for artistic politics"; mechanical The era of reproduction The lack of tradition and ritual value, the creation of art is essentially based on political practice.

The theme of "Artwork of the era of mechanical reproduction" (1935) was originally cited by Paul Valley's article "The Conquest of Ubiquity" (1928). Art work has developed in the past. Unlike contemporary art work, in order to understand art works in contemporary context, we must gradually develop understanding and processing of art and art. Our art has evolved, its type and application has been established in times quite different from our present. However, the amazing growth of our technology, the adaptability and accuracy they have acquired, the ideas and customs they produce make a crucial change in beautiful ancient crafts.

Analysis of the art in the mechanical replication era leads to these insights with serious insight, so we must treat these relationships fairly. Mechanical reproduction freed artworks from parasitic dependence on rituals. Replicated artwork is a work of art designed with reproducibility in mind. For example, you can create as many photos as you like from photo negatives, but it does not make sense to require "real" prints. However, as the authenticity standard no longer applies to artworks, the overall function of art is reversed. It is not based on rituals, but it is based on different practices - politics
