Study on the Current Status and Development Trends of the Integration of Classical Photography and Contemporary Art
Abstract
This study explores the current status and influencing factors of the integration between classical photography and contemporary art, aiming to analyze key variables that affect audience perception of art integration. A total of 100 valid survey responses were collected, and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis was employed to examine the impact of independent variables such as art exhibition participation frequency, technical familiarity, social media usage frequency, and cultural openness on the perception of art integration. The results indicate that all hypotheses were validated: art exhibition participation frequency, technical familiarity, social media usage frequency, and cultural openness significantly influence respondents' perception of the integration between classical photography and contemporary art. Among these factors, cultural openness had the most significant impact, suggesting that exposure to diverse art forms helps enhance the understanding of art integration. The significance of technical familiarity and social media usage further demonstrates the importance of technology and social media in art dissemination. Based on these findings, the study provides recommendations for artists, curators, and educators, including promoting interdisciplinary art creation, organizing interactive exhibitions, and strengthening multicultural education. Future research could further explore these influencing factors across different cultural contexts.
