Abstract
How can one create an aura from a digital reproduction? According to researchers like Walter Benjamin (1936) this is not possible. However with todays technology and digitalmedia it is worth looking into how it would be possible.Museums are looking for ways to expand the experiences of their exhibitions with thehelp of digital media, but research into authenticity and aura in digital reproductions islimited. This research aims to answer if it is possible to create an aura from a digitalreproduction and in what way that would be done.
