Abstract (en)

Extends to our present postmodern electronic age, Walter Benjamin's theories about how technology changes the way art is produced, disseminated, and valued, and how new art forms grow from new tools for representation and new conditions for communication. Examines the new technologies for image-making (photo-copying machine, computer, video camera/recorder) and explores their impact on art and artists.
