As our technology has developed and the use of Internet has
became our everyday basis, we now tend to spend more time in front of our
computer screens than being outdoor exploring the real world. There’s no doubt
that our computers and smartphones have now become our main source of entertainment.
Having access to the Internet is like having access to art galleries, concerts,
cinemas etc. Weather it’s illegal or not, downloading movies or music on the
Internet is cheap or free, easy and convenient. But is there a difference
between the original art and the version we watch or listen on our computers?
There definitely is! Live music, movies in the cinema or an original piece of art have significant uniqueness in
many ways. However, how much do we value the originality of art? Has our value
in it decrease since we have so much access to it online?
For me, it depends on what type of art it is. Paintings,
portraits, fine art etc. that are shown in art galleries might not have much
value to me since I have seen it on the Internet. Therefore, with music I think
it increases my value in it’s originality. After listening to a song that I
really like online, encourages me to want to listen to it performed live.Therefore I think it depends on the individual, if you’re
passionate in a genre of art I think you will have a higher value in the
original piece or performance than the online version.
