1. Throughout the piece Benjamin compares older more traditional methods of art and more modern methods, such as paintings and sculptures versus digital photography and cinema. With paintings and sculptures there can only be one true original while movies and photographs are mass-produced a served to many different locations. Does this take away from the meaning of the art? Does the fact that art now-a-days is so easily accessible that it can never compare to the singleness, the originality, and 'pureness' of traditional 'masterpieces'?
2. If the answer to the above question is yes, that is, digital art can never be 'pure art' according to Benjamin but is there any way to create digital art that can be considered 'pure'? Whether it be by quality alone, or by a change in production, in other words, how the public sees it?
