social slime

social slime reveals the structures behind social media that humans are blind to. Users are represented as slime organisms living in a computer graphics-driven simulation. They are created from users’ social media data and turned into collectively intelligent slime molds. In their simulation, they live and die based on received social attention or ‘likes’. It is up to the user to care for their own and others’ slime mold organisms and to choose between cooperation or isolation.
