As digital technologies occupy a more central role in working and
everyday human life, individual and social realities are
increasingly constructed and communicated through digital objects,
which are progressively replacing and representing physical
objects. They are even shaping new forms of virtual reality. This
growing digital transformation coupled with technological evolution
and the development of computer computation is shaping a cyber
society whose working mechanisms are grounded upon the production,
deployment, and exploitation of big data. In the arts and
humanities, however, the notion of big data is still in its
embryonic stage, and only in the last few years, have arts and
cultural organizations and institutions, artists, and humanists
started to investigate, explore, and experiment with the deployment
and exploitation of big data as well as understand the possible
forms of collaborations based on it. Big Data in the Arts and
Humanities: Theory and Practice explores the meaning, properties,
and applications of big data. This book examines therelevance of
big data to the arts and humanities, digital humanities, and
management of big data with and for the arts and humanities. It
explores the reasons and opportunities for the arts and humanities
to embrace the big data revolution. The book also delineates
managerial implications to successfully shape a mutually beneficial
partnership between the arts and humanities and the big data- and
computational digital-based sciences. Big data and arts and
humanities can be likened to the rational and emotional aspects of
the human mind. This book attempts to integrate these two aspects
of human thought to advance decision-making and to enhance the
expression of the best of human life.
