The Work of Art In The Age of Digital Fabrication

A cheeky spoof of "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" by philosopher Walter Benjamin, which I was exposed to in turn by Benjamin Walker's Theory of Everything Podcast. What is the nature of art designed and created by digital means? If an object can be designed and released by the creator, only to be physically produced by a stranger thousands of miles away, what is authorial intent? I don't know, and I'm not even sure I can define half of the words and phrases I just referenced. In any case, it's hollow so you can stick stuff in there.
