Benjamin’s article speaks to the reproduction of art and how it has diminished its appreciation of aesthetics. Technology today has greatly influenced how art can be viewed. Overall, I agree with Benjamin. If you go to a museum today, youre caught behind a sea of  iphones and cameras while you try to appreciate the work. It adds a buffer to how art should be viewed in a gallery. Typically the viewer and piece have a interactive relationship that are connected by sight. Scale is a fundamental aspect on its relationship to the viewer. With technology creeping into play, the viewer can be discouraged from an intimate interaction with a piece of art. A group of viewers now become integrated with the experience which questions if a galleries method of portrayal is consistent with the viewer and the piece. The reproduction from the viewers allows a piece to lose its ‘aura.’ it is trapped in the buffer.
