What is Benjamin about?

This document summarizes the essay "The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility" by Walter Benjamin. Benjamin discusses how new reproduction techniques like photography and film have affected the notion of art and its "aura." He argues that technical reproduction removes the work of art from its unique tradition and replaces a unique event with a mass phenomenon. The aura of the work of art, or its authenticity, is compromised by reproduction.
