Miss Bugs: Do No Harm

Miss Bugs new resin popsicles highlight social media sickness

Mixed Media artist Miss Bugs is to unveil a new installation, entitled Do No Harm at Jealous Gallery.The installation consists of 900 vibrant coloured resin ‘popsicles’, that in containing a range of pharmaceuticals, critique contemporary society's obsession and consumption of social media.

Miss Bugs continues to draw on the theme of addiction to digital technology, and how over exposure to news reels and digital feeds can act as an anaesthetic and numb the sense of reality. Algorithms mean one becomes stuck in their own ‘echo chamber’, and can only gain access to content that has been externally chosen to be suitable for them.
