This video presented some very interesting outlooks on the way that we as humans see art, especially those that have been manipulated or reproduced. Even though this video was a little dated, made in 1972, the content still hold true today; because of photo manipulations growth over the past years.
I believe that the mass reproduction and manipulation of art has presented both positive and negative effects of society and how we view art and what is art. Manipulating a piece of art changes it completely, but also creates something completely new. This changes the way that the viewer understands and sees the image/object.
There are both positive and negatives involved within this new age of reproduction and manipulation. Without these, art wouldn’t be anything near what it is today, and who is to say that is good or bad. We now are able to have very famous prints painting, and sculptures around us and in our possession, without having to drop thousands for the original. We are evolving with technology, just like our art is evolving with technology and the times.
