In this weeks reading Benjamin argues that “To an even greater degree the work of art reproduced becomes the work of art designed for reproducibility. From a photographic negative, for example, one can make any number of prints; to ask for the authentic” print makes no sense.”. I neither agree or dis agree with his statement because both side are work different way. That is right that an authentic print will give us an original art works and an original quality of that art work but it could not capture a spacific moment or freez time like in digital. The painting may give us an authentic work which have a best original quality from the artis point of view that how the wanten to present to us whereas a digital camera could capture the spacial moment or the spacific moment which could freez time frame by frame and esier to present it to all the viewer. So they both have different advanteges and different aims and I think that both of the style are great.

The image above are the example of the image that capture from digital camera that could freez time when water is splashing through the camera frame.

This is a furniture disign by Edward Pronce. He said his craft design is " for those of us who
are concious for our environment and desire products whose stories are meaningful, both how
they were created and what was the starting point. This furniture is not merely a branded status
symbol - it is a slice of history, inspired by a sense of adventure and a love for fine material, detail and craftmanship." so all the craft design frome him is somrthing that is meaningful not just ramdomly design. And it also give us a sense of the craftmanship when we see these craftingdesign with the meaning and inspiration of those piece of design.
