reproduction [Theme]

In the era of reproducibility images, the value of the paintings are already not assigned to him; its value is transferable: that is, it becomes a kind of information, like any information, it is either used or ignored; information has no special power by itself. When the picture is used, its value is either modificarea, or completely changed. We must clearly realize, what exactly this means. It's not about the fact that the reproduction is unable to correctly reproduce certain aspects of the original; a reproduction makes it possible (and even inevitable) that the image will be used for a variety of purposes, and a copy, unlike the original, will be able to adapt to them all.
