Congrats X, the Y is in another Z.

2019 / AI Agent-based Works / Self-driving model car, projections

A small autonomous car moves through a maze that keeps renewing, turning recommendation into spatial disorientation.

Congrats X, the Y is in another Z. follows a neural-network-trained model car through a projected maze. Each journey promises direction, but the system keeps producing another path, another enclosure, another loop.

The work translates algorithmic recommendation into space. Search, suggestion, and endless refresh become a maze that an embodied agent must navigate.

The title borrows the logic of games, but the comedy is uneasy. The agent keeps moving, yet its goal is displaced. Direction becomes pursuit without arrival.
