Benefit Game: Alien Seaweed Swarms creates an artificial ecosystem with installations. This work explores the impact of anthropogenic interference on seaweed populations. By simulating the growth and colonization of virtual algae swarms and symbiotic fungi, the game invites players to interact with the ecosystem using game tokens with the goal of achieving capital accumulation.
