9:22 From Christian's presentation:

"In 1935, Walter Benjamin discussed the consequence of the introduction of film, photography and lithographic printing. The concerns were loss of traditional craft and fear that with the new production technologies we would lose touch of the concept of original art and it would disappear. It is now time to revisit the questions tha tWalter Benjamin raised: how to reaffirm the positive potential and promise that lies in today's means of [re]production.

In this post-copyright era, society will have to rely on innovators, people with really good ideas (designers?) to enrich and sustain culture and society".
