Aesthetics in the Digital Age

Art | Culture | Ideas

Aesthetics in the Digital Age, Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery, London, 19 May. 26 May and 02 June 2015

In this series of three lectures, I explore the impact of digital cultural on art, particularly the impact of photography on painting and the legacy of Benjamin’s ‘The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction’. Art, I argue, has reached a stage of ultimate reproducibility with wide-ranging consequences for its value, authenticity and aesthetics.
