Week 6 Yo.
Benjamin's description of the history of art being duplicated of sorts reminds me much of today. With everything being so easy to remake, (burning CD's, DVD;s, recording shows, posters of any sort of art) What happens when we get to a point where art to where its made to be repeated? When I was reading David's response, he mentioned what is wrong with duplicating art? The original art piece is always known, even if it is repeated. The Mona Lisa can be duplicated, but we always remember the original, no matter now many times we may remake it. We will always compare it to the original art form, therefore, the actual art will never be lost.
Also, looking at film from a scientific viewpoint, that simple TV can give us something to look at and analyze from a scientific viewpoint, be it from the way it was shot down to the content and actors. Just because a movie may contain a world that is outside the norm, doesn't bring it outside of being art.
