The nonsense of the aura

Published: 03 December 2007 Publication History

Abstract

An examination of Walter Benjamin's notion of the aura as it appears in videogames, and the relation between the non-directional sense of smell, non-directional visual fields, and the representation or active exclusion of cultural memory.
