Reading Questions

1. What does the reproduction of art mean to the aura or originality of the original? Now that art pieces can be so easily reproduced and circulated how does that affect its original intended purpose and the preciousness of a work of art?

2. With new media one incorporated aspect is its ease of reproduction and distribution. Does that lessen its value? Anyone has access and every copy is the same as every other, does the concept of something being limited and valuable even apply?

3. How does watching the videos themselves demonstrate the difference in distributing information or art from how it was distributed in the past? Having a story or novel exist in both writing and video is interesting, how can different mediums co-exist without one making the other obsolete?
