Abstract
In this article, I explore ways in which contemporary two female artists convey their individual feminist agenda through their artistic expression. The juxtaposition of two allegedly ideologically opposed cultural products—Miley Cyrus’ video for her song “Wrecking Ball” and a simultaneously released video by former Riot Grrrl activist Kathleen Hanna—will allow me to explore the mechanics of Lauren Berlant’s cruel optimism with respect to claims of empowerment in art. In addition, a revisit of the media scandal surrounding Cyrus’ videos opens pathways into the delineation of a continuum within feminist art that will result in a plea for the re-appropriation of punk feminist DIY practices for the present of the 2010s.

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
