Benjamin mentions a few things about the influence and shift on culture in his book Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.
As opposed to being merely a copy, mechanical reproduction enables towards something totally new. As far as I can tell, it also impacts the presence of time and location in which the artwork or work was designed.Although exceptional, the process of mechanical replication creates a fresh alteration for how we see both space and time.
In fact, Benjamin argues that mechanical reproduction influences culture through new ways of generating media elements.
The fact that everything is so fast and you have only little time to understand, before our device may take it and present us with something different to visualize, is a matter of routine.I believe that the repercussions of digital reproduction today is the loss of historical value. I think that digital work could very well have an aura, although the historical value will be distorted throughout the reproduction procces.
While a new remix of an artwork incorporates its historical value, Benjamin’s thesis acknowledges the importance of this value, it is modified via mechanical replication.So, when we look at a replicate art, the aura becomes difficult to identify because of alterations that occur while reproducing it.However, if the replica of the work is stayed close to the original, a closer glance will reveal the original aura of the artwork.
This conclusion is that the closer we keep to the original work, the more aura we will be able to aprriciate from it, but the further the remix goes, the harder it will be to aprriciate this aura.
