Walter Benjamin’s article “the age of mechanical reproduction”

“It might be stated as a general formula that the technology of reproduction detaches the reproduced object from the sphere of tradition.”

Apparently, the mechanical reproduction didn’t just detache art from its traditional sphere and authenticity but it also disconnect human mind from being creative and critical. The way in which human interpret and appreciate art is different from earlier, since the art now is  surrounding us with the spread of technology and various platforms we have access to. Art is not being appreciated and valued as it was before, because people nowadays care more about sharing stories of what they’re doing than taking  a moment to cherish the painting, architecture, sculpture, music, book or any other form of art.
At one moment, It would seem that people can not produce any new notions, ideas, or art, because everything is exploited. However, we still find people who come up with new disciplines everyday.
We can not decline the fact that camera, cinema, TV,  and social media have been of great help all these years and that they offer us a wonderful chance to enjoy arts from different backgrounds and cultures. Besides, it would be almost impossible to see the famous art of works like Leonardo da vinci’s famous paintings and William Shakespeare’s fabulous plays..
