Abstract
The slime mold Physarum polycephalum is a well-established model organism within fields of biology, physics and computing. It is also increasingly employed within art and design disciplines, pedagogic practices and public engagement activities as a vehicle for exploring questions of intelligence, agency and emergence. This work was presented at PhysNet 2015.
