MEDIT Seminar: "Following Files“ in Digital Music Distribution

Speaker: Patrick Vonderau (Stockholm University)
Place:
M-213
Time: May 4 (Thursday) at 13:00-14:30

Abstract

In this presentation, I will first briefly introduce an interdisciplinary research project that studies streaming media and Spotify in particular. In the second, and longer part, I will present preliminary findings related to an experimental study of ad tech, or programmatic advertising. These findings will be framed by a larger argument about the financialization of digital media, highlighting the degree to which the digital dissemination of cultural content has come to be subjugated to the logics of financial markets.
