Abstract：While Horkheimer and Adorno interpret popular culture with Critical Theory, Benjamin is interested in finding how modern technology changes the work of art and its relationship with the masses. Two different kinds of consciousness of questioning lead the two different opinions on popular culture. Benjamin thinks that although the duplication of technology make the arts lose their aura, it can also dispel the quality of etiquette about traditional culture, change the mode of people perception and narrow the distance between mass and art. In this sense, popular culture promotes art to be more popular, changes the traditional art's targets which pursue the objectives in future and mix the art and the daily life together. Benjamin emphasizes the importance of converting the art more popular, and his interpretations open up new aspects of thoughts and horizons in the research of popular culture.
