Abstract
Bugs & Metamorphosis: Glitching Photography is an exhibition that explores "bugs" in two intriguing ways: both as technical glitches and as tiny creatures, insects. By combining these two perspectives, the exhibition creates a visual experience that’s playful, critical, and thought-provoking. From digital mishaps to insect-inspired art, the works challenge our understanding of photography and technology.
With more than 15 artworks, the exhibition reveals how glitches can disrupt and question systems of knowledge, classification, and control. Bugs appear both as real creatures—moths, flies, bees, and other insects—and as technical malfunctions with themes like swarming, webbing, symbiosis, and extinction. The exhibition highlights the ecologies between human-made and natural forces.
The information on artistic outputs in the Aalto Research Portal follows the reporting guidelines of Finland’s Ministry of Education and Culture. Therefore, each contribution requiring independent artistic activity is reported separately. For full details of the work and its contributors, please refer to information provided by the publisher.
