So if Benjamin thinks that with the advent of film and photography the aura of art is lost does he think that acting in a film or using a certain composition in a photograph does not count as art?
Also, if we are all products of our environment then the move towards mechanical reproduction in art is reflected by the technological advances in society. The rediscovering of the meaning of aura should relate to people on a personal level more than what I felt from this article. Is Benjamin trying to make art politics?
