The Death of the Artist

The "Death of the Artist" refers to a shift where traditional notions of creative independence and individual artistic identity are diminishing. In today's digital age, artists often rely on platforms, commercial interests, and algorithms that influence or even dictate their work. This environment can lead to a loss of authentic personal expression, as creators sometimes produce content primarily to satisfy algorithms, algorithms favoring popular trends over originality. Consequently, the once-celebrated artist as an independent innovator is evolving into a participant within larger systems driven by data, audience engagement, and commercial priorities.
