Digital Imagery Technology (DIT) and Voice Dysfunction: A Case Study

Abstract

In this phenomenological study, I heuristically investigate the use of the computer as a virtual art studio, where digital media is combined with traditional art methods such as painting, drawing, collaging, and sculpture while working with the psychological impact of physical dysfunction of voice. Current literature indicates that digital imagery technology such as digital cameras, scanners, and photo-editing programs has a place in the therapeutic context.
