Other[wize]
Multimedia installation
In her multimedia installation, other[wize], Jenny Fraser recounts and reflects on her family history, and she describes it as ‘celebrating the lives of Mununjali family members that were moved from their traditional homelands in South East Queensland, to work on properties in the Gulf of Carpentaria’. Memory is pivotal and, as Salman Rushdie writes in Imaginary Homelands, ‘the struggle of man against power ... is the struggle of memory against forgetting’. <a href="https://www.academia.edu/2223656/other_wiz">Excerpt from Other[wize] essay, Linda Carroli</a>
<strong>Artist Statement</strong><br />other[wize] is a new media arts project that celebrates the lives of Yugambeh family members that were moved from their traditional homelands in SE "Queensland", to work on properties in the Gulf of Carpentaria. The project highlights an era of 1800's colonial australia and explores the prickly issues of Native Policing, dispossession, displacement, massacres and survival [… ]other[wize] is an interactive work where stories are imparted through the use of family photographs, video, audio, and text - including Yugambeh language and relevant historical documents. The 'objects' are representative of important people or events and they transport the viewer to a story about someone from the past […] Events evolve in a non-linear way, grasping at the unknown, not sure of what will be found or how it relates to other information, until perhaps another time, leaving the viewer without a Narrator. This concept reflects how many Aboriginal people experience family histories. The viewer has the opportunity to experience a similar 'fragmentation' of history and they might think about their own relationship to place and times.

I Saw the Signs
Multimedia installation
Jenny Fraser works within a fluid screen-based practice of bold and confronting art that utilises popular cultural references as a bridge to challenge viewer’s frames of reference. Her practice has also been partly defined through a strong commitment to collaboration with others and she is motivated to redefine the art of curating as an act of sovereignty and emancipation, founding cyberTribe online gallery over a decade ago.<br /><a href="http://www.cybertribe.culture2.org/jennyfraser/artist_bio.htm">Source of Description</a>

On medication: Twills (tweets about pills)
<strong>Artist Statement</strong><br />Twills is a generative video work, dynamic and mostly text-based. It was projected on the wall in the show and explores the roles of medication in contemporary life and the complex responses people have to these. I harvested twitter for several months in 2013 looking for interesting tweets containing the words pills or medication and built a database of over 500 tweets. Then I wrote a program to assemble random collections of tweets into structured collages of these many different hopes, fears, problems, solutions and experiences of medication. People are remarkably candid on twitter and their tweets are thought-provoking in themselves, but when they are combined in unexpected ways, new stories are continually generated.<br /><a href="http://sallypryor.com/works/med.html">Source of Artist Statement</a>
