Bill Morison

Base on the whole event I like the second one we saw in the began before the real movie. The movie it self was hard to grass trying to follow every at once while the movie was moving in fast mode. The Decasia was weird to watch but am glad I did, it was something new to me, it was a complete different approach to film. I t was funny because in the second clip of film he show us I saw two people having sex, then I saw a hand, then I saw the main idea. I felt most of the time he was trying to film Michael Gordan's music, like if this notes were images to help produce this film for Decay.

The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction The Art History Archive - Modern Art

Wow this reading is long but still something I need and want to know, the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.
That I have read so far is that In photography, exhibition value begins to displace cult value all along the line.
The nineteenth-century dispute as to the artistic value of painting versus photography today seems devious and confused.Then film came and brought a new world of art which is acting, technique of the film, and the theater. Mechanical reproduction of art changes the reaction of the masses toward art. The reactionary attitude toward a Picasso painting changes into the progressive reaction toward a Chaplin movie.

In principle a work of art man-made artifacts could always be imitated by men. Mechanical reproduction of a work of art represents something new. Historically, it advanced intermittently and in leaps at long intervals, with accelerated intensity.
