The primary aim is to amplify the voice of sustainable creativity through the integration of AI and creative multimedia technology. Authors are strongly encouraged to feature their creative concepts, prototypes, proofs-of-concept, and detailed innovation case studies relevant to the conference themes or tracks. This event is targeted at researchers, academicians, industry participants, undergraduates, and postgraduate students seeking fresh insights and new research ideas within the creative and multimedia industries. Keywords of the conference are Creativity, Media Art and Design, AI and Generative AI, Multimedia Technology, Sustainability, Creative Sustainability, Creative Industries
All tracks are grounded in creative sustainability and conscientious practices within the technologically advanced era. High-quality articles will be invited for extension and consideration for the book proposal "Sustainable Creativity in the Age of AI and Multimedia Technology" which is under evaluation for inclusion in the IEREK Interdisciplinary Book Series, published by Springer Nature (Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation (ASTI), https://link.springer.com/series/15883, Scopus Indexed). Invited authors must ensure the papers similarity rate should not exceed 10-15% per chapter and no more than 5% from any single source and any form of plagiarism or detected AI-generated content may result in the rejection of the articles from the final book submission.
