In this weeks reading, Benjamin argues, to an ever greater degree the work of art reproduced becomes the work of art designed for reproducibility. From the photographic negative, for example, one can make any number of prints; to ask for the authentic” print makes no sense.”
I agree with Benjamin as the evolution of technology we see as today is changing as a very fast paced economy. For example watching a movie at the cinemas is one of the best quality pictures you will see as it is authentic. When Dvds release later on, the work of art gets reproduced into millions of copies.
Blu ray Dvds however is the latest technology which does offer a very clear high definition output and it does come close to the quality of the authentic print of the movie. Over time as technology advances our reproduction prints will become as clear as the authentic print so therefore asking for the authentic print will make no sense.
