Splash Canvas

AI-powered sea creatures act as your brushes and guides, giving playful critiques as you paint in this fluid virtual painting experience by David Li. Drag an octopus or squid across the canvas to paint! Each has a unique style and will offer playful critiques or fun insights. Beware the turtles: Smudge blends your work, while Scrape erases it.

Created by artist David Li, this squishy digital experiment explores surreal, playful interactions. It uses a novel GPU fluid simulation, Gemini-powered character dialogue (synthesised via Chirp 3) and procedural audio by Chris Heinrichs.
