Artificial life is a field of study which uses theoretical rules to create life-like phenomena. Lenia is a cellular automata which was designed for this purpose. These rules are often simple, and the results demonstrate the beauty of how complexity often arises from simplicity. Diffusiophoresis serves as a physical explanation for chemotactic movement, an important phenomena observed in biology. We incorporate diffusiophoresis into Lenia, and investigate the beauty that arises at the intersection of artificial life and physics.
