The comparison between Dadaism and digital art is an interesting one. Indeed, this movement changed the art world forever, allowing different types of media to flourish. The reference to Walter Benjamin’s article about reproduction does raise some questions are the future of the art world. The internet in general has changed much about how we view images. We are used to seeing a reproduction of any image in the world at the click of a mouse. To Walter Benjamin, this would mean that these images lack an aura because they have lost rarity. However, to me, and aura comes from the composition and not from how many people can view it. If the artist creates a brilliant composition, you can feel the aura emanating from a reproduction. I would argue that reproductions of the Mona Lisa are more interesting than the tiny one roped off at the Louvre because it is easier to see the composition. I was also interested to learn that people have been using computers to make art since the 1960’s. I always thought digital art was something created from the internet age, but it was surprisingly not. I am interested to see the computer animations done in the 60’s because I’m sure we’ve come a long way since then with digital art. I liked how the book said that computers are a tool of digital art. This statement gives credit to the artist as a creator. Digital art is more than just putting information into a computer.
