Jenny was the co-ordinator for the new media arts component of 'Spirit & Vision' a Trienniale featuring 94 Aboriginal Artists at Sammlung Essl in Vienna, 2004, 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. More recently she was the first Aboriginal Curator to present a Triennial exhibition in Australia: ‘the other APT’ coinciding and responding to the Asia Pacific Triennial. Her own artwork is regularly screened internationally, including ISEA in San Jose and the Interactiva Biennales in Mexico, and she recently received an honourable mention at the imagineNATIVE Film & Media Arts Festival in Toronto.
