The emergence of social media has, without a doubt, affected countless industries around the world, the arts being no exception. For many years, we focused our attention on the effects the developments in social media had on music and video. This, however, was just the tip of the iceberg. Fashion, painting, photography, among other forms of art, were also influenced by the newly emerging social media trends.
The success of social networking-based businesses dedicated to performing arts (book.fr, modelmayehem.com) or graphic art (deviantart.com), as well as the monetization of high fashion (carnetdemode.com), remind us that the art world continues to change and adapt, thus affording businesses a certain niche market.
What new artistic forms emerged as a result of social media? How has social media affected different artistic practices? What new opportunities have emerged to promote and monetize art?
To answer these questions, we asked:
