Abstract

The era of Big Data has ushered in a profound transformation in the domains of art, entertainment, and social trends, redefining the cultural landscape. This research examines the intricate interplay between data and culture, analyzing the multifaceted impacts of Big Data across these three dominions. The key findings of this study illuminate the pervasive influence of Big Data on contemporary art. Artists and art forms have embraced data as a source of inspiration, forging a new frontier in the creative landscape. Data-driven art has given rise to innovative themes, styles, and techniques, challenging conventional boundaries between art and technology. The entertainment industry, too, is undergoing a data-driven revolution. Content creation, distribution, and personalization have been reshaped by data analytics and recommendation systems, resulting in enhanced audience engagement and content relevance. In the sphere of social trends, Big Data has become an indispensable tool for understanding and influencing societal dynamics. Social media platforms, with the aid of data analytics, can now predict and shape trends in politics, consumer behavior, and social movements. The cross-sector analysis underscores the commonalities that bind these domains, revealing data-driven personalization, the ascendancy of user-generated content, and the central role of recommendation systems as shared trends that transcend art, entertainment, and social trends. This study makes significant theoretical and practical contributions, providing a comprehensive exploration of the impact of Big Data on culture. Its findings offer valuable insights for artists, content creators, policymakers, and social scientists, enabling them to navigate and harness the transformative power of data in culture.
