Abstract

Cross-media storytelling has emerged as a pivotal practice in contemporary art and digital culture, redefining the boundaries of narrative creation and audience engagement. This review aims to synthesize existing literature on interactive narratives, focusing on how multimodality, interactivity, and participatory cultures reshape storytelling practices. A systematic literature review was conducted across Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using targeted keywords to capture relevant studies, with inclusion criteria emphasizing cross-media narratives, audience engagement, and digital artistic practices. Findings reveal that interactive and multimodal approaches foster deeper audience immersion, enhancing memory retention and emotional connection, while digital platforms and participatory practices democratize authorship and support collaborative storytelling. Cross-cultural examples demonstrate how storytelling functions as a negotiation tool for identity and cultural heritage, while educational applications highlight its effectiveness in improving learning outcomes. Immersive technologies, particularly AR, VR, and AI, expand narrative experiences but also pose ethical challenges concerning authenticity, authorship, and misinformation. Systemic factors such as infrastructure, policy frameworks, and technology access critically shape the reach and inclusivity of these narratives. The review underscores the urgency of addressing methodological, ethical, and systemic barriers, recommending expanded infrastructure investment, supportive regulations, and interdisciplinary research. These strategies are vital for advancing cross-media storytelling as a transformative force in cultural dialogue, education, and creative innovation.

Abstract

The global creative industries are undergoing a critical transformation as inclusivity and diversity emerge as central imperatives shaping cultural sustainability and innovation. This narrative review synthesizes literature from 2000 to 2024 to examine inclusivity in the arts across four key domains: representation in artistic content, accessibility of cultural spaces, culturally responsive pedagogy, and structural-economic frameworks. Literature was collected through comprehensive searches in Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using targeted keywords such as “inclusivity in arts,” “diversity in creative industries,” and “representation in cultural production.” Studies meeting inclusion criteria provided empirical data, theoretical frameworks, and case studies relevant to inclusivity. Findings indicate that inclusive representation in visual arts, film, and digital media enhances belonging and social inclusion, while accessibility initiatives such as universal design and sensory-friendly adaptations improve participation for marginalized groups. Culturally responsive pedagogies foster empathy and reduce prejudice, situating education as a powerful site for social transformation. Structural and economic analyses reveal that policy reforms and equitable funding are essential to dismantling systemic barriers, with comparative perspectives illustrating varying successes across global regions. Despite promising initiatives, gaps remain regarding the sustainability and systemic impact of inclusivity efforts, particularly in underexplored regions and long-term evaluations. This review underscores the urgency of structural reform and highlights the need for collaborative, context-sensitive strategies to foster inclusivity. Future research should investigate the effectiveness of digital platforms in supporting underrepresented voices while ensuring equitable resource distribution. By addressing these challenges, creative industries can be redefined as equitable spaces that reflect and nurture the diversity of the societies they serve.

Abstract

The use of synthetic paints in fine art has raised growing environmental concerns, particularly regarding volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and microplastic pollution. This study investigates the potential of natural pigments and biodegradable binders to serve as sustainable alternatives. It aims to assess their performance through standardized testing of lightfastness, binder compatibility, and environmental impact. A range of mineral pigments (e.g., ochres, sienna, green earth) and botanical lake pigments (e.g., madder, indigo, turmeric) were combined with solvent free binders such as gum arabic, egg tempera, and linseed/walnut oil. Botanical lakes were prepared using alum based precipitation methods. Paint samples were applied to cotton paper and mineral gesso panels, followed by lightfastness testing using ISO Blue Wool standards and ΔE* measurements. Environmental metrics including energy consumption, waste output, and microplastic risk were evaluated using a simplified life cycle inventory (LCIA) framework. The results showed that mineral pigments delivered excellent durability (Blue Wool 7–8), while botanical lakes varied in stability. Madder and indigo were moderately stable, whereas turmeric was highly fugitive (Blue Wool 1–2). Gum arabic and egg tempera demonstrated superior ecological profiles, with zero VOC emissions and high biodegradability. Linseed and walnut oils offered good artistic performance but required careful storage. All tested combinations avoided microplastic generation. These findings confirm that a select range of natural pigment and binder combinations can meet both artistic and environmental standards. The study supports the integration of sustainable materials into fine art practices and provides a model for future research and institutional policy development focused on eco conscious art production.

Abstract

Contemporary musical films are increasingly being used as vehicles for ethnic storytelling. This study investigates how industry practices specifically casting, creative participation, cultural consultation, and marketing strategies shape the authenticity and reception of ethnic representation in four case studies: In the Heights, Coco, Encanto, and West Side Story (2021). Using a comparative content analysis approach informed by boundary making theory and representation studies, the research triangulates production documents, promotional materials, and reception data to examine how participatory inclusion influences narrative integrity. Methodologically, the study applies a multimodal coding framework to assess how structural dynamics influence storytelling from development through distribution. It incorporates data from creative personnel profiles, marketing discourse, and community feedback, enabling a comprehensive understanding of industry driven representation. The results reveal that films involving creators and consultants from target communities tend to offer richer, more nuanced portrayals, while those relying on symbolic inclusion or commodified authenticity risk critical backlash and community disengagement. Casting misalignments, marketing inconsistencies, and lack of structural inclusion are identified as recurring challenges. These findings highlight the need for systemic reform in media production to promote authentic and accountable ethnic storytelling. The study contributes to scholarly debates on cultural representation and offers a replicable model for evaluating equity in media narratives.

Abstract

AI-generated music systems such as MusicGen and Stable Audio 2.0 are increasingly capable of producing stylistically coherent and musically rich compositions. However, questions remain about whether these outputs constitute genuine creativity or mere replication of training data. This study evaluates the memorization and creativity levels of these models using symbolic and audio-based metrics, alongside perceptual assessments. A dual-model evaluation was conducted: symbolic outputs were assessed using chroma-based DTW, Smith–Waterman, melodic n-grams, and MGEval metrics, while audio outputs were analyzed for waveform similarity and listener ratings. Anti-Memorization Guidance (AMG) was introduced to reduce overfitting, with 50 outputs generated per model under both standard and AMG conditions. Results showed significant memorization in standard outputs, particularly with high Replication Index scores and latent similarity clusters. AMG effectively lowered memorization and increased Novelty Scores and Harmonic Surprise. Subjective tests using MUSHRA and Likert-style ratings revealed that AMG-enhanced outputs were perceived as more creative but slightly less typical in genre. Correlations between objective and subjective metrics further validated the effectiveness of the hybrid evaluation framework. The study concludes that AI music systems can be guided toward greater originality using anti-memorization strategies. While achieving historical creativity remains challenging, perceptually and statistically creative outputs are attainable. This framework offers a replicable approach for evaluating creativity and informs ethical, legal, and design considerations in AI music generation.
