Artwork has an aura even in the era of its technical reproducibility
Original language description
The central concern of this text lies with the famous essay The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction (1936) ? one of the last texts of German thinker Walter Benjamin. In the essay, Benjamin articulated a key concept ?Aura? that has become integral part of the discussion about the nature of new media. This issue should be analysed ? with respect to critical theory ? by the means of function of art in the area of mass culture in its own right. Nevertheless, for better analysis, the concept will be hereby analysed in relation to the political dimension of the DIY (do-it-yourself) culture. The ambiguity (duality) of the submitted method ? on one hand the analysis of cultural industry, and on the other hand the analysis of the DIY culture ? should reveal a conceivable persistence of Aura in the age of digital reproduction. However, the precondition of this grasp of the concept is based on Benjamin?s politicization of art: cultural artefact is constituted through collectivism. I
