[ISEA2004] Artist Talk: Jason Davidson — Aboriginal Imagination: Ngulliyangi

Artist Statement

I have just completed masters in cross cultural communication breakdown in Aboriginal health (combined with new media, Aboriginal knowledge & western knowledge of the anatomy of human biology) at the Northern Territory University. I have focused on the way health education has been delivered to the Aboriginal community (kidney failure & disease). Kidney failure has now reached epidemic proportions in Aboriginal Australia.

  • My name is Jason Davidson, I am from the Northern Territory, Australia. I am of Aboriginal descent my family country starting with grandfathers side is located near Ngalakarn, Mara & my grandmothers country is know as Gurindji country both located in the northern territory. I have been developing my artistic skills in new media for the past six years. I believe there is an enormous amount of new possibilities followed by many great opportunities that new media can bring to Aboriginal people and remote communities.
