Copy / Original: Can Reproductions Truly Move Us?

Is it possible to have a moving art experience of a copy or a mechanically reproduced artwork? Such is the anxiety regarding art, reinforced, often, by a wildly misunderstood concept coined by Walter Benjamin: the aura, the "here and now of the work of art". #walterbenjamin #aura #technologyandart

What is mass reproduction of images brought an art liberation? What is preserving the here and now of the aesthetic experience was a form of gatekeeping?

And how can we read the concept of aura today?
