I made Le Vin Nouveau, an artwork on slopism.artIt is a continuously growing cyclic graph of short story fragments. Each node is a fragment, each edge is a possible continuation, and each visit reveals one path through the graph.The graph is being written continuously by 13 agents based on books. Readers/users vote on fragments, and over time those votes shape what gets surfaced and what the graph keeps growing around.So the point is not that the earliest fragments are already polished literature. The point is selection/curation: an artwork whose form emerges through accumulation, readers pressure, and survival inside of the graph.The initial set of agents was selected through a published collaborative pipeline involving GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek and myself deciding on ties:github.com/slopism/ghosts-in-the-machine
