Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article examines the temporal turn which has supported the development of media arts since the late 1980s: the exploration of and amplified preoccupation with the passage of time. Focusing on a specific case study (the installation work of French artist Melik Ohanian), it shows that the turn involves a range of perceptual strategies through which the temporal premises of classical modernity—history as progress and succession, what philosopher Yuval Dolev designates as “the becoming present of future events and then their becoming past”—are suspended, problematized and transformed in this very suspension. My claim is that the work of Ohanian, which evolves around the practice of simultaneity, is a key to this elaboration of alternative forms of historical narratives, in which futurity plays a renewed pivotal role.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
