About
The wiring is real, in the sense that it was measured: FlyWire's map of every neuron in a fruit fly's brain and how they connect, published in 2024. This app runs that model. It looks out of a window, and its own responses decide the picture — the colour it saw, where to start, which way the brush travels, when a stroke was wrong, when it is done. None of it is scripted. Nobody knows what the next painting will be.
Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit). Free. Offline — the paintings stay on your machine.
Unsigned, so SmartScreen will object the first time: More info → Run anyway.
The first start is slow: it is reading a brain.
