Digital Generative Multimedia Tool Theory (DGMTT): A Theoretical Postulation in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

Introduction

The digital medium is recognized as unique for allowing operational media transformation and real-time media exhibition. The material that consists of the digital medium is named as the computation medium. Various computational media such as sounds, images, and visions, effectively integrate digital representation to establish a vigorous correlation between the relationships. The approach to enhancing the creative process according to computation medium ability is rarely discussed [1]. The interface instrument is significant for bridging the influence of computation mediumbased correlation and the creativity approach in generative media. Through combining the generational theory and concepts, this study presents additional generative multimedia models of direct virtual truth and relative visualization process. Thus, the advancement in computer technology provides a new creative method for artists and designers, generative creativity. Multimedia tools have significantly manifested generative art in recent years. The framework of the generational theory and models for generative multimedia tools is discussed under different aspects of concepts, computational media, computation medium, digital material, and interface instrument for generative media design.

Therefore, DGMTT is used in many fields as a specific application of generative multimedia and it is a generative multimedia product that is designed to offer the audience a sense of visual creation and control for content creation, structural design, and modification of content. It also permits the impression of creating meaningful stories, designs, and developments in the progress. Gupta et al., observed that generative multimedia tools are the digital medium of expression that offer expressive control, a sense of visual creation and control experimentation, play, fluid learning, and intellectual gaining all of which are inherent aspects of the overall expressive process [2]. The process of creating a generative multimedia tool is to experience the satisfaction of shaping meaningful constructed experiences that invite the participation of the people involved in the design or authoring process. In this contestation, the thesis of DGMTT offered a dynamic process as it is extending the idea of generative art from two dimensions (visual and sound art) into a multidimensional immersive experience.

The proponents of DGMTT, Onyejelem and Aondover theorised a novel paradigm called Digital Generative Multimedia Tool Theory (DGMTT) to investigate the possibilities of multimedia tools in producing digital material. This theory is at the forefront of innovation because it provides a way to bridge the gap between emerging technologies and traditional multimedia creation methods in order to improve the digital media environment and produce memorable and compelling multimedia contents in the constantly changing digital landscape. Within the fields of journalism and media studies, marketing and advertising, natural language processing, education and training, art and design, healthcare, architecture and urban planning, simulation and modeling, creativity and innovation, music and audio production, and game development, this theory offers a state-of-the-art framework. It explores the use of dynamic and interactive multimedia techniques to provide real-time, tailored, and captivating content that draws viewers in and fosters brand loyalty [3]. In this context, the ideas and uses of DGMTT illustrate how individuals in the era of AI produce and engage with digital contents. The theory looks at how these tools might be employed to give users dynamic, interactive multimedia experiences. It highlights the potential for these tools to be utilized in a wide range of applications, from education to entertainment, as well as the significance of user interaction and participation in the content creation process.

The Context and Logic Framework

DGMTT relied on the production of media content by AI. The term “DGMTT” was first used by Onyejelem and Aondover in 2023. The necessity to confront the developing effects and ramifications of AI on the production of media content gave rise to the thesis. The impact of AI technology on media production is growing as it develops, posing challenges to conventional ideas of authorship and control and fostering new kinds of creative expression (Chiu, 2024). According to McQuail cited in Onyejelem, theories pertaining to mass communication “have to be continually reassessed and in the light of new technologies and their application [4].”

DGMTT is a novel theoretical framework that provides a new angle on the function of digital media tools in creative processes. In this context, Smith remarks that digital media tools are dynamic creators of fresh, original digital media forms rather than just tools for creating static material [5]. This idea highlights the potential of digital media technologies to enable creative professionals such as designers, photographers, and artists to produce interactive and generative media that is capable of real-time evolution and adaptation. DGMTT offers a novel method for producing digital media that could revolutionize how we think about and use digital media tools during the creative process. This idea could have a big impact on the design, art, and digital media industries by opening up new avenues for innovation and creative [6].

The core concept of DGMTT is to establish the nexus between AI and media content creation is described by a number of fundamental principles. For instance, the distinction between human and machine creativity is becoming hazier since AI algorithms are capable of producing unique and creative stuff like literature, art, and music. By offering support, motivation, and feedback, AI tools can enhance human creativity and allow people to explore new creative possibilities. The boundaries between passive viewing and active engagement can be blurred by AI-powered media to create immersive and interactive experiences that engage viewers in unexpected ways. Also, the traditional ideas of authorship are challenged by AI's engagement in content creation, encouraging a more distributed and collaborative approach to creative output. The concept of multimedia emerged from the blending of many media types, including as text, images, audio, and video, together with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), into a single presentation or platform.

The usage and potential of digital generative multimedia tools in creative processes are explained by the DGMTT theoretical framework. This theory investigates the relationship between creativity and technology, concentrating on the ways that generative multimedia tools might improve the creative process and increase the range of artistic possibilities. The fundamental ideas of the theory shed light on its uses and consequences in the creative industries. Fundamentally, it is based on the idea of generative multimedia, which is the process of producing dynamic and interactive multimedia material through computer programs and algorithms. The purpose of generative multimedia technologies is to create works of art and compositions that change and adapt over time by adjusting internal variables and rules. According to Boden, these tools enable makers and artists to investigate intricate and unpredictable creative realms, producing original and cutting-edge artistic results [7].

The theory places a strong emphasis on the relationship that develops between the artist and the generative multimedia tool. Artists actively use these technologies, contributing to the creative process by setting settings, adjusting algorithms, and making decisions that influence the final product, as opposed to being passive users. Malina asserts that because generative multimedia tools are dynamic, artists can engage in a co-creative connection with the technology, resulting in an iterative and collaborative process [8]. Additionally, DGMTT emphasizes the idea of emergence as a key idea in comprehending generative multimedia tools. The term "emergence" describes a phenomenon in which basic elements or laws interact to produce complex and unanticipated behaviors or patterns. Emergence in generative multimedia happens when the tool's generative algorithms interact with the artist's input to produce new and unexpected artistic results. By recognizing the generative tool as an active participant in the creative process, this idea questions established ideas about authorship and creativity [9].

It has effects that go beyond the creative sphere. These resources facilitate the investigation of intricate systems, fostering the growth of computational reasoning and problem-solving abilities [10]. Generative multimedia's dynamic and interactive qualities can improve user participation and engagement in a variety of settings, including marketing, entertainment, and education. A conceptual framework for comprehending and investigating the possibilities of generative multimedia tools in creative processes is offered by DGMTT. This theory highlights the inventive uses of generative multimedia technologies in a variety of creative fields, the active participation of the artist, and the idea of emergence. DGMTT questions conventional ideas of authorship and creativity in the digital age and creates new avenues for artistic expression [11].

The utilization of digital technology is vital in augmenting generative multimedia tools, as it offers sophisticated processing capacity, varied distribution channels, and artificial intelligence-driven features. With the help of these features, generative multimedia technologies may produce dynamic, interactive material that engages people in fresh, tailored ways. Because digital technology offers more sophisticated possibilities for producing dynamic and interactive information, generative multimedia tools have been greatly improved. Improved processing power and algorithms that allow for the creation and modification of multimedia elements in real time are two important ways that digital technology improves generative multimedia tools. Digital technology, according to Manovich, makes it possible to create generative multimedia tools that may react to inputs from users and external factors, providing more engaging and individualized user experiences [12].

Additionally, a variety of multimedia formats and platforms are made possible by digital technology for the dissemination and consumption of generative multimedia material. For instance, generative multimedia tools can reach a global audience and facilitate collaborative creation processes through the use of webbased technologies and cloud computing [13]. The flexibility and scalability of generative multimedia tools are improved by the connectivity and accessibility that digital technology offers. The integration of data-driven and AI-powered functions into generative multimedia tools, which enable the automatic production and adaption of material depending on multiple inputs and parameters, is another way that digital technology improves generative multimedia tools. This skill improves the generative multimedia processes' productivity and inventiveness [14]. Generative multimedia tools leverage digital technology like computer vision and machine learning to create material that changes in real time based on user preferences and actions.

Within this contextual context, this study is exploratory in nature, as it utilizes, the descriptive research method whereby  relevant literature, documents, and records were consulted and analyzed based on the existing literature on AI. The study is predominantly based on information derived from the qualitative data using secondary sources, such as relevant texts, journals, official publications, historical documents, and the Internet, which served as tangible sources of insight into the analysis based on thematic areas. A content analysis of secondary data was done for the interpretation of the data. This allowed for the evaluation of existing knowledge for the purpose of relevance, consistency, replication and refutation of the DGMTT.
