Benjamin Questions

1. When Benjamin is talking about the "aura" of an object what do you think he means? And in reproducing this aura how do you think it "destroys" it? Do you think there is a way to reproduce an object without destroying the aura?


2. Benjamin writes that photography and film started arguments about their status of being true art.  He then says that the true question is how these medias changed art.  How do you think that photography and film has changed art?  Do you consider them to be art forms or do you think that traditional forms of art are the only true forms of art?
