1. Does the ability of reproducing art reduce the value? Does having many prints/replicas of an artwork in many homes increase it's publicity, or devalue it. For example, the Statue of David is one of a kind. Has the ability to make tiny replicas that are easy to obtainable reduced the original value of the statue, or increased it's publicity by being a presence in many homes today. Does it keep the work alive?
2. Do photographs, film, digital media, etc. still have an "aura" despite not being physically present? Will digital media ever have the publicity such as past art legends(Mona Lisa, Statue of David, etc) due to lack of this aura and no present originals?
