Día 1: Food for Thought

“One of the foremost tasks of art has always been the creation of a demand which could be fully satisfied only later. The history of every art form shows critical epochs in which a certain art form aspires to effects which could be fully obtained only with a changed technical standard, that is to say, in a new art form.”

--Walter Benjamin. “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”
