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. - Full authoring editor: tune agents, sensing, deposition, decay, colour, post-FX - Audio-reactive: the visuals pulse and bloom to sound - Capture: high-res stills, video clips, Live Photos - Apple TV ambient mode with phone control - Curated presets to start from; save your own
