Nina Vindum Rasmussen

Nina Vindum Rasmussen is a digital media scholar specializing in the datafication and platformization of culture. She holds a PhD in Culture, Media and Creative Industries from King’s College London funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). For three years, Nina worked as a Fellow in Interdisciplinary Social Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science, where she taught on the themes “How can we control AI?” and “How can we create a fair society?” as part of the interdisciplinary course LSE100. 

Her research explores what happens when algorithmic logics infiltrate media production and consumption – like when a screenwriter shapes a storyline around Netflix’s audience viewing data, or a Spotify user tweaks their music listening in the lead-up to the annual Wrapped campaign. What is at stake when the systems that distribute culture begin to co-produce it in increasingly opaque ways? She is particularly interested in how media users and producers influence and resist these dynamics, not least considering the powerful institutional and commercial interests at play. 

Nina’s first monograph examines the impact of global streaming and AI technologies on European screen production. The book is under contract with MIT Press, where it will be published as part of the “Distribution Matters” series edited by Dr Joshua Braun and Prof. Ramon Lobato. Her research has also been published in New Media & Society, Media Industries, Television & New Media and the Journal of Gender Studies.
