Муха смотрит телевизор (Fly Watches TV)

A finished art piece, published as-is and no longer maintained: a fly sits in a 1990s kitchen in front of a television carrying live broadcast channels. Frames at 160x90 and 15 fps become input to 4,146 photoreceptors mapped onto optic-lobe columns, a MaleCNS v1.0 simulation of 166,700 neurons and 6.24 million connections runs at a 0.1 ms step, and after two model seconds the fly either stays or flies to the remote and changes channel. The author is careful: the network only receives pixels, and "bored" and "startled" are their own reading of Kenyon-cell and giant-fibre activity.
