The Artwork encompasses creative and innovative works with academic value and practical contributions, including designs, films, visual art, interactive projects, installations, and digital media. In academia, the Artwork is recognized as a valid and impactful form of research, particularly in fields like art, design, and media, as it reaches broader audiences and delivers direct benefits to society and industry.
