Questions for Digital Media


Question one:

 

The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction touches on the subject of the power of art and film used by the social masses throughout history and change brought by this ‘powerful agent’.  Within the last century history and humanity has seen massive change that can arguably be said to have been brought on by the use of photography and film.  What are a few examples of the important use of photography or film within the last century that fueled social change?

 

Question two:

 

In The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction the subject of the mechanizing and mass reproduction of art brings home the point of the impact of industry on art, and in turn, the impact on society and the changes that are brought for good or ill.  Will the ever vanishing handcrafted disciplines become completely obsolete as technology advances?
