Abstract
The concept, politics, and society of the network are examined in the light of concepts taken from media ecologies, Guattari’s notion of the three ecologies of socius,1 self, and environment, Simondon’s discussion of transduction, and Guattari’s political deployment of transversality. The reality of the virtual is taken as the basis for a politics of networked media, and a case is made for a transdisciplinary response. Recent ecological/electronic/digital art works and media processes are discussed as demonstrating interesting emergent aspects of the ecological aspect of the network society. These include Lars von Trier’s 1996 production of Verdensuret (The World’s Clock, in which live images of an ant’s nest in the United States determined the performance of 50 actors in a Copenhagen art gallery), the digital video work of Joyce Hinterding and David Haines, and the nightly news. The paper concludes, following Guattari’s ethico-aesthetic paradigm, that in a post-media world, experimental media ecologies are crucial to the affective, ethical, and ideo-diversity of the network society.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
