Commentary
This presents four works themed on “Neighbors to Bugs” inspired by the phenomenon of bugs.
Normally, bugs are seen as digital errors, but sometimes they can bring about new discoveries or values.
The common notions and possibilities of the body are challenged by reusing and expanding, not fixing, the various bugs around us in the natural world and people.
