Physarum Ambient

A mesmerizing stigmergy simulation you can shape and play — audio-reactive, endlessly evolving, beautiful on iPhone, iPad, and the big screen via Apple TV.

Physarum turns the emergent behaviour of slime mold into living, breathing art. Thousands of agents lay down and follow trails, and from those simple rules intricate, ever-shifting patterns emerge. Shape them with a full parameter editor, let them react to music through your microphone, and capture stills, videos, or Live Photos. On Apple TV, Physarum becomes a lean-back ambient display you steer from the couch or mirror live from your phone.
