Read full descriptionHide full description
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
