Art at Work (was/Re: happy xmas)

Yes! And Bejamin's discussions of photography
and film, I think, are directly relevant to under-
standing GR, VL and ATD (and maybe even the
first Simpsons episode!). IV more obliquely,
which, I'm thinking, has some resonance with
Antonioni's 1966 film, Blowup. Still, the emphasis
on technology as it impacts art- the distancing
and numbing effect- video games, drone
warfare.
