Gruesse g.philo tribe!
Rather than reanimate an ancient thread here, thought i'd kick off a new Benjamin blurb...
and let folks here know about my recent experience...
Last year the artist television access - www.atasite.org
in SF asked some artists to contribute to a 21st anniversary (fundraising) project called
""The Work of Art in the Age of DIGITAL Reproduction"
with W.B's essay as the trigger...
From this, ATA produced a cd, a book, and a dvd ( which i haven't seen yet )...
For now, they are only available by donation here:
atasite.org/donate/
There are some fascinating results which examine Benjamin's unique lens on art and mass media
in a kind of 21st century remix.
There are a number of folks who would like to see these items more publicly released...myself included...
if there's any interest here, please contact me or ATA.
There were some incredible synchroncities that occurred while exploring this material, like meeting THe Benjamin scholar,
Samuel Weber in Berlin last November. If peeps here in the philo tribe are interested to hear some inspiring tales related to this project, maybe i could share more, but for the moment i'll just make this a "brief" entry.
