A marked desert route tracing AEGIS-9B’s journey from Hyperion Dynamics through the farm, motel, junkyard, and Rosie’s house.

Rosie’s Route Map charts the long path taken by AEGIS-9B across the dry western landscape after leaving Hyperion Dynamics behind.
Marked with stops at the farm, the motel, the junkyard, and Rosie’s house, the map turns a machine’s movement into something more personal: a record of escape, survival, and unlikely connection. Each point along the route represents a place where AEGIS-9B was forced to adapt, observe, and make choices beyond the purpose it was built for.
For Rosie, the map becomes more than geography. It is the shape of the journey that brought AEGIS-9B into her life — a line across empty country that led from corporate property to companionship.
As an artifact, Rosie’s Route Map represents the road between programming and personhood, and the places where AEGIS-9B became more than a machine on the run.
