Analysis and Research on the Therapeutic Properties of New Media Art Exhibitions 

This project investigates the therapeutic properties of new media art exhibitions, which leverage digital technologies to create immersive, multi-sensory experiences. By comparing these exhibitions to traditional art forms, the study aims to highlight innovations and distinct therapeutic benefits.
