Unfolding Myth in Motion

2025 / AI Agent-based Works / Large language models, Unreal Engine, mythic texts

A five-screen time maze turns movement, replay, and framed evidence into a public choreography of suspicion.

Unfolding Myth in Motion places nine agents inside a multi-screen time maze. They move through corridors, thresholds, gardens, and occluded spaces. Their intentions remain uncertain, but their traces become visible.

The work does not reveal deception as a hidden truth. It shows how suspicion forms. A pause, a co-presence, a delayed witness, or a replayed fragment can become evidence once the screens frame it for public comparison.

Mythic prompts shape the agents' tendencies, but the viewer does not need to decode the myths. The drama unfolds through movement, distance, disappearance, and the shifting authority of the screen.
