Abstract

The situation of COVID-19, which encourages untact, has caused changes of accessibility and formal expansion of sense in art therapy. The purpose of this study is to examine unique features of emotional and sensory experiences in the media environment that affect communication and expression in media art therapy. Distinct elements of online media such as telepresence and interactivity have multi-dimensional influences on communication and expression. Modern media is a participatory system in which users carry out actions: they become the agents who create the structure, form, content and meaning of the system. Entailing artificial telepresence mediated by interactivity, the spatio-temporal experience in a virtual space produces ambivalent sense and emotional distance between connection and disconnection. Then, the client's affective body directly accepts and reacts to every perception of sense and presence in the virtual space where all senses conflate. The ambivalent emotions in a virtual space such as insensibility-immersion, omnipotence-hopelessness, and divisionintegration contribute both to pathological symptoms and treatment. The advantage of the virtual space as a therapy room is that clients can accept and express their psychological ambivalence and embrace as playful acts anomalies and transformations against the suppression of the existing representation system.
