Evolution
Evolution in line art made of motes of light: a cell becomes a fish, a lizard, a monkey, a gorilla, a human, a runner, then a horse, a car, a biplane and a rocket.

- The idea
- Inspired by attention in AI language models, where each word looks back at the words that matter to it. The motes and threads are drawn by hand, not taken from a real model.
- With music
- Kicks fire pulses along the threads and push a wave through the shapes; the bands and vocals set how brightly the motes glow. Tap Demo beat for our own beat, or Your music to let it hear the room.
- How it runs
- It’s the same live simulation as in the Everdust apps, running in your browser on WebGL 2. If your device struggles, it lowers the detail a step at a time to keep the motion smooth.
This is just a taste
Loved Evolution? There are many more worlds in the app.
The Everdust app has every world at full detail, plus games made of physics, stories you step inside, Create (turn any photo into a world), and hand tracking on Vision Pro and Quest. Free during the beta.
