How does he connect Art and Technology and Mass production
of the Image?
Walter Benjamin found new technology in the art field fascinating. With the advances of the lithograph and then film, Benjamin uncovered an entirely new way to display art and a new technique. He found that with the new technology he could change how many people could now see the art with the use of mass production. Important works of art used to be only viewed by the wealthy in a museum for a limited amount of time. However, with mass production of the image Walter created completely accessible art by many people, this of course also created a completely different type of audience viewing and critiquing the work.
