Then we welcomed Tatiana Cirisano to the stage for her presentation, Scenes: The Past and Future of Fandom. In today’s algorithm-driven entertainment era, music consumption is becoming increasingly fragmented. As a result, identity and culture are also fragmenting. Tatiana explored how modern electronic music artists can use niche and multi-faceted scenes as a lens to cultivate fandom. She highlighted why this approach has become essential in today’s music industry and how it can help artists stand out from the competition.
