Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Known and celebrated for the startling imagery and dream-like characteristics of her plays, Adrienne Kennedy's work challenges anyone who decides to stage her work. This article considers the use of digital technologies that contribute to Adrienne Kennedy's evocative and powerful vision. Focusing on a production of Sleep Deprivation Chamber (1996), which Kennedy co-authored with her son Adam P. Kennedy, it explores how integrating digital animations and video projections can challenge conceptually some of Kennedy's central themes, particularly acts of writing and spectating. The article aims to complicate the core question that drives the dramatic: what happens to text when it turns to image? Kennedy's dramaturgy has a photograph-like sensibility laced with simultaneity and this article explores the possibilities of using various contemporary technical means to assist in the staging of her plays.

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.
