STREET MUSEUM WITHOUT WALLS: A Curatorial Mediation on the Convergence of Street Art and Digital Culture
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study develops a conceptual framework for a street museum without walls that synthesizes the social spheres of the museum, the city, and the web in order to curate street art in-situ. When André Malraux developed his theory of a museum without walls, he imagined the endless discursive possibilities of integrating photographic reproducibility within museological discourse. Redeploying Malraux’s theory, this thesis examines the transformation of art and public culture via networked digital technology, in order to map the spatial aesthetic operations of street art within a curatorial discourse. This study engages with critical discussions surrounding the changing role of the museum in the twenty-first century, the pervasiveness of the street art movement within contemporary culture, the question of how digital reproducibility has allowed street art practices to occupy multiple sites within the public sphere, and, how concepts of ‘site’ and ‘place’ are \nmediated, extended and registered online.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
