"The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" by Walter Benjamin, 1936
A seminal text on the mediation of art in the industrial age, that continues to have relevance today, in the digital age. A difficult reading due to its dense language (consider its historical and political context, as it was written in a pre-WW2 Germany in 1936) but still a highly significant piece of theory by Walter Benjamin.
