CHILD NATON is an innovative digital platform developed by Jessica for children aged 7 to 11 years. Its interactive stories use children’s own ideas whilst guiding them through personalised and immersive experiences of the real world around them.

Each adventure in the large and growing collection, helps children tap into their imaginative capabilities, celebrating their quirky creative ideas, and giving them permission to be themselves.

Conversational text prompts physical exploration and, as they wander, they enter answers to simple questions which are used to personalised a story-like experience. The adventures each incorporate different art forms and result in diverse and unexpected outcomes.

 

Children enter an uninhibited imaginative zone to see their places and themselves differently from the conventional perspectives of the adults around them.

The Child Nation world is entered using an internet enabled device, via QR on alluring signage in parks and libraries, or via a special collection in schools.

Jessica acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live, play, and create and from which we are sustained with food and water. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging, and warmly welcome any First Nation peoples to this site.

I also gratefully acknowledge the City of Melbourne's ArtPlay and The Australian Government's Creative Australia for their consistent support that has sustained my practice and enabled me to grow as an artist.
