#WalterBenjamin #Aesthetics #LeeKunHeeCollection A pioneer in media aesthetics, Walter Benjamin (1892-1940). He defined the era of more vivid duplicate images than the original as the era of technical reproduction, and developed an art philosophy that fit this new era. Any discussion of media aesthetics today must acknowledge that its ideological source is his. In this lecture, I will briefly summarize his aesthetic theory in an easy and concise manner. Please note that this lecture is composed of only content that can easily arouse curiosity for those who are new to Walter Benjamin, so I will omit the discussion of his materialist position and the political function of art. I will discuss this content separately later, so please enjoy this lecture without any burden.
