====Sharing information in this nature is an appropriate way to learn about Indigenous Australian heritage and its impact on the social, cultural and political development of the Visual Arts industry in Australia. Many stories are told by a range of artists in a variety of contexts. The artists' stories are linked by their use of current or emerging technologies in the delivery of individual messages. The Australia Council's 'Protocols for Producing Indigenous Australian Media Arts' states that:====

//"Australia's unique and Indigenous artistic and cultural expression is rooted in thousands of years of heritage and continuing practice...//
====//When media art was an emerging emerging field, many Indigenous commentators noted the potential for that artform to reproduce and deal with Indigenous cultural content in unprecedented ways. Indigenous artists and communities were keen to participate, however, media art allowed Indigenous cultural material to be copied, digitised and altered in ways that were not previously possible... Protocols define appropriate ways of using Indigenous cultural material, and interacting with Indigenous people and their communities.//====
