Abstract
Figures of Otherness in Canadian Video Self-representation is a well-established tradition in the history of video art and several Canadian video artists have worked with this subject in relation to figures of sexual and cultural otherness.This text analyzes various practices that integrate the figure of the other as counterpart while exploring the self.I call this figure the video alter ego.Through the division or splitting of the self, the alter ego becomes the strange other to whom one is linked.The terminology of this word is evidence then of two poles united in the same figure: a dual and often transient figure in various areas of an identity being constructed.Continuing in the tradition of artists" selfrepresentation, forms of self-portraiture, and otherness, the ego personifies the various characters that the artist takes on, showing a desire for the other through many versatile images.I will begin by looking at the work of Toronto videomaker Colin Campbell.His work shows a distinct interest in the subject of identity, especially

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
