<p>Can I have a moving art experience with the copy of a masterpiece? Walter Benjamin's concept of "aura" is wildly misunderstood—and his insights still teaches us something vital about images, visual arts, and art wonderment in a screen-saturated world. On this episode, we unpack why your mediated art experience matters, and what Benjamin really meant about the "here and now" of art. This episode opens up the gates of Benjamin's famous book and iconic critical thinking piece<b><i>The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction</i></b> to stimulate informed agency, and free your art pleasures, in matters or art appreciation and aesthetic experience. #walterbenjamin #aura #technologyandart</p><p></p><p>Interested in Worlding, my art space &amp; residency in London?</p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.worldingproject.com/" target="_blank">https://www.worldingproject.com/</a></p><p>Visit the exhibition with Collective Aid and SOS MEDITERRANEE for Refugee Week: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/ticketing/across-lands-and-seas-exhibition" target="_blank">https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/ticketing/across-lands-and-seas-exhibition</a></p><p>Participate in our Workshops: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/ticketing/workshops-across-lands-and-seas-exhibition" target="_blank">https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/ticketing/workshops-across-lands-and-seas-exhibition</a></p><p>Attend our talk about courage? <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/ticketing/across-lands-and-seas" target="_blank">https://www.zeffy.com/en-GB/ticketing/across-lands-and-seas</a></p><p>Know more about <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.collectiveaidngo.org/" target="_blank">Collective Aid</a> and <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.sosmediterranee.org/" target="_blank">SOS MEDITERRANEE</a>.</p><p></p><p>Kathy Barron's <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.womenwhopodcastmag.com/" target="_blank">Women who Podcast Magazine</a>.
