Digital Agents: Cretan Palace Mappings

Latest test outputs from an ongoing piece of research. The spectral chart produced shows the accumulative isovist mapping of autonomous spatial agents progressing in real-time through the archaeological plan of the ancient Cretan palace of Malia. Other record formats are also demonstrated.

Each agents is capable of recognising the characteristics of its neighbours (displayed as modulated colours of isovist) and reacting to them. Social behaviours of seeking, following and fleeing contact are apparent as the agents collectively explore the palace ‘maze’.

Developed in loose collaboration with Dr Quentin Letesson of the Aegean Interdisciplinary Studies (Aegis) Research Group, Université Catholique de Louvain.
