Intro

Streamed video entertainment services are well known for their systemic collection and processing of big data. For the users of those services, the application of that data will manifest itself in the form of computer-generated recommendations. But amongst creative practitioners in the screen industries, what relationships and interactions do they form with that type of data? Nina Vindum Rasmussen (LSE Fellow, London School of Economics and Political Science) outlines how various power dynamics emerge from the interactions which emerge between screen workers and the data produced and held by major streaming services.
