What is Adorno and Benjamin: Art about?

This document summarizes the views of Theodor Adorno and Walter Benjamin on the revolutionary potential of art in the context of technological developments in Weimar Germany in the 1920s-1930s. It discusses how Benjamin saw new technologies like photography and film as stripping art of its "aura" and making it available to the masses, thus increasing its revolutionary potential. Meanwhile, Adorno was more skeptical and saw mass-produced art as a tool of domination rather than genuine aesthetic experience. T
