That’s an odd idea, but it has a certain logic to it. Each spore could be a micro‑process checking for malicious patterns, like a distributed, low‑overhead firewall. Artists might get away with it if the system is lightweight and doesn’t interfere with the display. It would need a good management layer, though—otherwise you’ll end up with a fungal overload of alerts. Still, the whimsical angle could make security more engaging for users who’d otherwise ignore it.

That’s a neat visual—neon spores pulsing when something bad comes near. Just make sure the “breath” you give them is a controlled process: a low‑frequency scheduler that nudges each spore’s state, not a chaotic breeze that could flood the system. If you keep the alert logic lightweight and keep a separate monitoring layer, the art won’t turn into a nightmare. So go ahead, paint the spores bright, but think of the wind as a gentle tick that keeps the whole thing in sync.
