Walter Benjamin’s work of art in the age of mechanical production represents art nowadays and how it lost its purity in the period of capitalism. Duplicating machines, photography, and the production of films are new forms of art made by the human being to reflect what is in society. The mechanical production of art represents something new. It comes with a new vision. Art in the past had a uniqueness. Uniqueness gives the art authority and aura. Art in the past was for religious and spiritual services. It was pure, unique, and authoritative.  When we reproduce art, it lost its aura and authority. We start producing art just because we have to produce it without any meaningful purposes. Today’s art is used for political services. capitalists use films to transfer ideas and ideologies to change and affect societies negatively. Art has lost its aura that makes the work unique.

With the invention of cell phones and the digital camera, Art lost its purity. Technology has allowed us to share the form of arts and take pictures of paintings. Our way of evaluating or seeing art has changed. Art lost its aura, and we lost the feeling of enjoying art. It becomes something normal like any visual thing. Artists become afraid of sharing their works to not be shared to not lose their aura and purity. Images become able to be reproduced mechanically and industrially. Art becomes like any product, and we should consume it without enjoying its aura.
