Slide 11: Theorizing Tools and Technologies

• Theories on the role of technologies in EXA.

• Instrumental Model: Technology as neutral tools.

• Prosthetic Model: Technologies as human extensions.

• Actor-Network Theory: Technology as part of human/non-human interactions.

Slide 11: Theorizing Tools and Technologies

Content: Guidance of Artistic Process Instrumental Model Prosthetic Model Phenomenological Approach Actor-Network Theory

Script: To understand the role of technologies in Expressive Arts Therapy (EXA), we can look at several theories. The instrumental model views technology as neutral tools designed to achieve specific goals. The prosthetic model sees technologies as extensions of human capabilities. The phenomenological approach suggests that technologies mediate human experience. Lastly, Actor-Network Theory views technology as part of a network of interactions between human and non-human entities. Each model provides a different lens through which to understand the impact of technology on the artistic process and therapeutic outcomes.

• Instrumental Model: This model views technology as neutral tools designed to achieve specific goals. In EXA, technologies are used to facilitate artistic expression and therapeutic processes, such as using digital painting software for art therapy or music composition apps for music therapy.

• Prosthetic Model: This model sees technologies as extensions of human capabilities. Technologies in EXA can enhance or augment a person's ability to create and engage with art. For instance, adaptive technologies can enable individuals with physical disabilities to participate in dance or visual arts.

• Phenomenological Approach: This approach suggests that technologies mediate human experience. In the context of EXA, technology shapes the way clients and therapists experience and interact with artistic processes. Virtual reality, for example, can create immersive environments for therapeutic storytelling or guided imagery.

• Actor-Network Theory (ANT): This theory views technology as part of a network of interactions between human and non-human entities. In EXA, technology is seen as an active participant in the therapeutic process, influencing and being influenced by the interactions within the therapeutic setting. For example, a digital art tool is not just a passive instrument but a co-actor in the therapy, shaping the creative process and therapeutic outcomes.
