Arts, Communication & Digital Media

A peer-reviewed, Diamond Open Access journal exploring the intersection and integration of artistic practice, communication theory, and digital media technology. It welcomes original research, reviews, and commentaries across visual arts, communication studies, AI‑generated art, interaction design, cultural studies, digital creative industries, and related fields. Published by StarNexus Science Press (Hong Kong).

ACDM provides a scholarly platform for researchers, artists, and practitioners to examine how emerging technologies reshape creative expression, public discourse, and cultural production in an increasingly connected world. The journal is particularly interested in studies that bridge theory and practice, offer cross‑disciplinary perspectives, or present innovative methodological approaches to understanding art and communication in digital contexts.

ACDM is guided by an international editorial board of leading scholars spanning Asia, Europe, North America, and Australia, reflecting the journal's commitment to global scholarly dialogue and diverse intellectual traditions.
