Week 3 | Robotics + Art | Blog Assignment
As the society moves forward, it’s inevitable to connect art and technologies together. Especially after second industrialization, the advantages of mass production enhanced necessity of robotics in art industry. In the era of which time is everything, people quickly digest information and perceive “data” as much as possible; under such circumstances, information and data are aggressively produced. One of the most central idea of information here is art, the form of information system that most effectively and directly communicate author’s idea with others.
Walter Benjamin, as one of the most well known phycologist and sociologist in 1900s from German, clearly and accurately defined the term of “aura”. There are four basic characteristics of the word “aura”, namely mystery, obscurity, uniqueness and distance perception. Benjamin demonstrates that “original” art delivers the methodology and idea of the author at the moment of creating the very art piece. Art pieces could impress you, make you feel the way the author feels and made one lost in thought. Due to the nature of original art that creates immediately and once only by the creator, it embraces all the phycological conflicts and complexity during the creating process, and that’s the base of uniqueness of art pieces. Also, people could only experience the originality of the art piece by keeping an appropriate distance from rational feeling and the object itself. Rational feeling help viewers correctly and objectively perceive the meaning deep down in the art piece. However, the mass production of art piece although is more convenient to communicate and manipulate as well as reproduction. And the way of delivery art varies along the way stick together with technology advances. Overall, the aura of art is lost during the process of reproduction.
