Jenny Fraser, b. 1971

Jenny Frasers family hails from Mununjali/Yugambeh Lands and she founded and curates cyberTribe, this Indigenous Online Gallery that aims to encourage the production and exhibition of Indigenous Art with a focus on the digital. CyberTribe had its beginnings in 2000 and keeps on keeping on.

Jenny was the co-ordinator for the new media component of 'Spirit & Vision' a Trienniale at the Sammlung Essl in Vienna, and also part of the curatorial working group for 'conVerge - where art and science meet', the 2002 Adelaide Biennial, which was a major survey of Australian new media artworks.

She is also a part of a new wave of exciting networks, such as the Indigenous New Media Arts Collective which is a national body of artists/film-makers/designers.

As an Artist in Residence Jenny has created works in collaboration with the Hermannsburg Potters of the Northern Territory, Kaurna Plains School in South Australia, the Coen Community in Cape York, the International Indigenous Art Residency at the Banff Art Centre, and as a NEWflames resident in the Campfire Group Studios in Brisbane.

She has served as a member of the Australia Council's New Media Arts Board and also the Board of the Australian Network for Art and Technology, among others.

In recent years Jenny has undertaken a Creative Fellowship to produce a body of work that celebrates the lives of Yugambeh family members that were moved from their traditional homelands to work on properties in the Gulf of Carpentaria and explores non-linear documentary as an artform. http://www.geocities.com/dot_ayu
