Art and Mass Communication

Abstract

The essay proposes a  perspective over the  contemporary artistic  phenomenon, reported
to the technological changes that have been resized and redesigned the artistic events, from cave paintings to Beethoven's sonatas, in the field of mass communication set up by the mainstream of the  information society. Through mass communication channels, the artistic message spreads from the past to present days, across radio, television, Internet etc. being perceived by the public. Today, Beethoven's music is equally contemporary music, like Xenakis’.
