It's Friday, spring is here (a bit too early) — it feels like a good day to share another minute recording of a variation of my Actiniaria piece which I worked on last spring and think also captures that much needed #BloomScrolling spirit...

Why use hyperlinking if you can create videos recording screens recording screens, just to be able to document other people documenting your own work. The modern internet is just sooo amazing!

More #Actiniaria progress: Added a soft global constraint to create more of a (macro)organism feel w/ a sense of belonging and fuzzy boundary. Also slowly updating the behavior/relationship matrix between the six different types now, to create varying temporary alliances...

Found some time last night to implement multi-behaviors and I'm very excited about where this is going... 😍 The video shows 6 different types interacting with (and avoiding) each other. Next step is to vary the behavior matrix over time, causing changing alliances and breakup behaviors...

Earlier this week a student told me how some sea anemones can swim away when attacked by sea stars.

They showed me this video of it happening. It's excellent.

Keep it in mind if you see something creeping up slowly towards you.
