Study Task 7 - Key theorists

Key theorists who have influenced my work and their ideas
Walter Benjamin 1936 The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction;  what is uniqueness, authenticity and aura and is it lost through mechanical reproduction
John Burger 1972 Ways of Seeing; The importance of time, manor and place, how digitisation can distort an original image and reproductions make originals open to interpretation
David Douglas 1991 The Work of Art in the Age of Digital Reproduction; the versatility of analogue due to digital, the unique qualities of analogue and no loss in quality with digital reproduction

Phil Taylor 2009 The Lo-Fi Phenomenon - Analogue versus Digital in the Creative Process; everyone can be an artist, accessibility and speed of digitisation, the desire of vintage and authenticity due to the beauty of analogue
