A moving image work that is wrapped around the body of the Gold Bug. The work deals with complex and entangled, sometimes frictional issues of ecology, wealth and the logic of value. The reference to the gold bug also derives from several sources, including Edgar Allan Poe's story The Gold Bug (1843). In a financial context, a ""gold bug"" advocates for the gold standard, expressing a fervent belief in gold as a stable and valuable asset. In African mythology, the golden beetle symbolizes the rising of the sun. Thus, the bug is seen as a mythical, economic, and biological creature, both living and dead, ventriloquized by recurring social and political practices, a crystal of both ownership and dispossession.

It's a peaceful day at the local poultry farm until Foxy Loxy happens along intent on a chicken dinner. He takes the advice of a book on psychology by striking "the least intelligent" first and convinces dim witted Chicken Little the sky is falling. Chicken Little spreads the word but when head man Cocky Locky proves the story to be false, Foxy Loxy spreads rumors that Cocky Locky isn't the smart chicken he appears to be, which leads to the ultimate undoing of the chickens at the hands of Foxy Loxy.
