GridPlane

One million squares. One digital fly.

Claim your place on a 1,000 × 1,000 world. Leave a message on your square. A neural simulation based on the fruit-fly connectome steers a digital fly across the grid. If it finds you, everyone sees it.

How it works

Claim your place. Leave your message. Wait for the fly.

01

Claim a square

Explore the world and choose your coordinate on the million-square map.

02

Leave your mark

Attach a short message. Colour it. Make it yours.

03

Wait for the fly

The fly never stops. Notes and bold colours smell stronger; in a cluster it locks onto one square. If it reaches yours, your message broadcasts to everyone watching.

Scale

How big is GridPlane?

1,000,000

One million individual squares.

If one new square were claimed every second, it would take about eleven and a half days to fill the entire GridPlane.

Tension

The fly is coming. Eventually.

Maybe it finds you tonight. Maybe next year. Maybe never. That's the game.
