The app is a gorgeously weird interactive experience based on the skittish beats and melodies of "Bloom," the first track off of *King of Limbs*.

PolyFauna is essentially a discovery app, with no real goal other than to go deeper and deeper into the strange landscapes.

Universal Everything painted an vast, ever-evolving world out of code that shifts and regenerates depending on the person using the app.

As you travel through the app, you’re encouraged to take a screenshot, which is then uploaded to Radiohead’s blog. There you’ll find a gallery full of strange lands other users have discovered through the app.

Universal Everything drew inspiration from Stanley Donwood’s notebook of ink-drawn fauna, trees and creatures. “We effectively took how Stanley’s brain was working with his pen and grew a lot of the drawings he would draw using code instead,” Matt Pyke says.
