Drosophila Capital is an interactive art experiment that maps a fruit-fly connectome onto tokenized-stock activity.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

The interface maps a Drosophila melanogaster model onto a stock visualization, using a FlyWire-derived set of 24,000 neuron coordinates and an 892-column retina. Stock tiles change color with each price tick, while a violet core indicates the mushroom body’s attention. The page includes portfolio, history, and ledger views, but identifies itself as a booting art experiment and explicitly says that it cannot write to a chain.
