Hi
I was wondering if anyone can tell me about Historical/technological impact on Aboriginal Art?
I am aware of acrylic being introduced and the changes this had made in prodcution of art. What are the others? how has English language, CHristianity, new materials etc. changed visual art and how it has been adapted into writing, film, dance etc.
Particularly interested in what changes a written language may have Had. I have skimmed a book by Saegner(?) "Space Between Words", and he mentions that spacing created silent reading, whereas before readers had to speak the words of scripta continua to make it comprehensible.

Anyways, any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
