relating to Benjamin - suggestions, please

sandchuck

Hello: referencing or relating to Walter Benjamin's "Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction," please suggest some articles, books, or critical essays that touch on ”˜digital' production/ reproduction. Does not need to cite architecture specifically.
Looking forward to your suggestions.
Best,
Chris Sandchuck

check out MOMA's fabulous exhibition from 1968 curated by pontus hulten, "the machine - as seen at the end of the mechanical age." kind of hard to find in its original form (bound in beautiful metal). i have a bibliography at work that i can send to you.

look up The Anaesthetics of Architecture:by Neil Leach

not directly about reproduction...more about the abundant use of two-dimensional information.

fast read
