Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

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.

Not 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.
