展覽會展示的這些作品，製作來當作該藝術家ANU藝術學校畢業後研究所候選用作品，其目的在回應如下問題：「傳統列印媒體編輯卡通，如何重組以配合新媒體內文?」本藝術家實踐的重點在藉卡通式製作來宣傳目前政治事件的反應。此方式需要快速製作時間，才能呈現時效性的作品即時呈現在觀眾之前。

The works presented for exhibition have been produced as a component of the artist’s post-graduate research candidatureat the ANU School of Art, in response to the question “How can traditional print-media editorial cartoons be retooled toa new media context?”

The primary aim of the artist’s practice is to produce and disseminate animated responses to current political events. Theapproach demands quick production time to ensure currency of the works when disseminated to an audience.

These particular works have been designed for viewing on small screen devices such as mobile telephones and iPods.They are a response to the ‘Australian values’ dialogue initiated by the Federal government in 2006, where governmentministers sought to clarify those qualities of Australian National Identity and citizenship deemed‘desirable’ in themainstream community.
