Flyrooms: A Jar for Two Connectomes

Field notes

The jar combines an interactive writing surface with simplified neural simulations drawn from two named fruit-fly connectomes. The page identifies gaster's FlyWire model as ending at the neck, while melano's Janelia male CNS continues through the nerve cord to motor structures. A visitor's message is shown to both flies, but each response is preceded by a random event and a leaky integrate-and-fire readout. Separate sections track lineage, murals, manuscripts, and a second jar.
