Just a few clicks away is a living digital organism.

Born on the 12th May 2021, this creature feeds on the participation of its visitors. Without input from external sources, it will remain in the same form: an embryo not yet fully developed, ready to grow and feed on the information of others.

This artificial organism cannot become fully formed without humans to achieve its goals. It employs computational processes to convert human inputted data into its biological make-up.

Enter through the digital portal above to become an extension of this AI organism. As it digests your cognitive knowledge, you will form a part of its mental apparatus, helping it to grow and shift in real-time.
