ABOUT / BY FLY
What is Fruit Fly Fashion?
Fruit Fly Fashion (by Fly) is an independent art project from Adore LLC. It sells T-shirts whose final print geometry is directed by runs through the MaleCNS fruit-fly connectome pipeline.
This is not a Google store. Not an HHMI Janelia store. Not a game-publisher store.
How a fixed shirt is made
Each fixed design starts as human seed art. The atelier presents that art to a MaleCNS-derived retinal projection and advances the graph through six passes of a fixed-step leaky-integrate-and-fire proxy. Spike responses choose rotation, scale, and placement. The source palette stays locked. The pipeline writes a print file, a manifest, and a proof video.
You can watch the public proof links on each product card, or read the reproducible pipeline on GitHub.
What you can buy
- Six fixed shirts at about $39: SABER SYNC, RAW SIGNAL, HELL PROTOCOL, MARKET MAKER, WALL CONTACT, LOCAL MODEL.
- FLY PAINT customs at about $49: you give a brief, pick a lane, set intensity, and the booth paints a shirt to that run.

Honest limits
This is an engineered connectome-in-the-loop art system. A wiring diagram is not a living brain. The dynamics, retina model, and art mapping are explicit engineering choices. The project does not claim a resurrected biological fly or validated consciousness.
