The agent system would be responsible for controlling virtual figures on a screen, which interact with users of the installation. It was necessary to develop agents which displayed behavior pre-defined in stories designed by the project team, as well as to ensure that such agents acted in a way that was both well received by visitors, while also stimulating interaction in a way that allowed the project team to conduct research on the interactions between humans and nonhumans. The agent system was implemented using Jason, a Java-based interpreter of the agentprogramming language AgentSpeak. Over the course of the project, various agent scenarios were developed, with differing ways of implementation. An iterative process was used for development and regular meetings with project members were instated, to discuss progress and ideas, while utilizing visualizations to aid communication. Behavior of developed agents was plagued by various problems, from being too reliant on reactions towards user behavior, to not interacting enough with active users. Various approaches to such problems were tried out, discussed, and documented. During the final installation, agents with indeterministic and emergent behavior were employed. Furthermore, agents were focused on both pursuing their own goals as well as constantly paying attention to visitor behavior. This allowed users to realize agents as a social presence and interact with them in a way that was both novel and natural.
