Chapter 5
In his essay, Benjamin famously states that the mechanical reproducability for the first liberates the artwork from its parasitic embedding in ritual. This is actually a culmination of a process that started at the time of the Medici, as we have seen.
We've made a small presentation about Benjamin's essay, which you can find here. This is the presentation including the presenter notes, so you can just read through it.
For you convenience, I've also made a screen recording of this same presentation. You can find that recording below.
After watching reading the article and going over the presentation, you can go over to the exercises.
