Walter Benjamin:
Art is one of the significant things that change through time. As technology improves we get used to see different forms of art. In the article the author emphasize the relation between history and art. It is so obvious that the art is the expression of ‘ unique existence of current time’ and as time changes the art also changes. Art belongs to the place where it has created. New era is formed by the replication. Reproduction becomes a problem as it leads to ‘copying’ of pieces in the mass production. I totally agree that the artwork looses its value if it is not the original because of the belongingness.

Guy Debord:
We are the society of spectacle because we are blocked by capitalism and we can’t see the real world. Our visions are altered so we live with the images that reflect fake reality. We all think in the same way because we are the products of mass production. In modern societies the main aim of living is to keep up with the production cycle. The development can’t be prevented. The spectacle is not free in contrast it is dependent.
