Taking Walter Benjamin's classic core text "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" (1936) as its starting point, this course investigates what happens to art in the current age of digitalization. Traditionally, concepts like ‘authenticity', ‘original', ‘copy', ‘reproduction', ‘representation' and ‘aura' play different roles within different art forms: For instance it makes sense to publish a novel in as many copies as possible in order to reach out to wide readership, whereas an original painting is considered of greater value than a reproduction on a poster. And both differ from music and theatre, where the ‘same' work incorporates the significantly different dimensions of score/text, setting and specific performance, which all relate differently to the above concepts. This course investigates how the widespread use of digital technology in the production of works as well as in the distribution of and communication about works influences and transforms the different art forms. Practical assignments supplement the readings and enable us to study concrete implications and potentials of digital technology in different art forms in order to qualify our understanding of what roles authenticity and reproducibility play in art today.
