Walter Benjamin

Even the most perfect reproduction of a work of art is lacking in one element: its presence in time and space, its unique existence at the place where it happens to be. This unique existence of the work of art determined the history to which it was subject throughout the time of its existence. This includes the changes which it may have suffered in physical condition over the years as well as the various changes in its ownership. The traces of the first can be revealed only by chemical or physical analyses which it is impossible to perform on a reproduction; changes of ownership are subject to a tradition which must be traced from the situation of the original.

This passage speaks about when art is being reproduce, it lose elements, it may look the same but the quality is not the same. It speak about how one can detect an art work from original to copy, and what method to use to detect the original.

This passage is a bit interesting because, it reminds me of relationship when someone in the relationship mess up; its hard to gain back the trust, because trust has been altered and it makes the relationship hard. In the relationship before mistrust came, the relationship was pure, it was rich and all together, but since the trust was altered, and lack of honestly , the relationship starts to lose elements, and now if the faithful partner decides that they gonna work through it, that relationship is gonna have to get through process to regain health.

2. Erfahrung: is a kind of experience called intergrated experinece, it is the understanding of the historical orgin of the artistic object that we encounter. Erlebrisse is an experience that is referred to isolated experience are are usually seen as being unfriendly in nature.

3. Positive is destruction of arua take away the mystical aspect of art and allow, everyone to appraoch art in a move realistic way. Negative is the total function of the artistic work is being reversed and it's based another practices.

4. The impact of the forms of mass culture like films have really changed human point of view or perception of the positive destruction of arua, which brought the universal equality of things, and also accepting the reproduction of art work this brings, magazines and picture. It's important because the public see what's going on, everything is exposed.
