Abstract
Age is Written on the Body investigates the different ways in which middle-aged \npeople experience and reconcile this time of their lives. By interviewing middle-aged \nmen and women in Toronto about their experiences of midlife and by subsequently \ntransforming their narrative responses into visual statements rendered in sculptural body \nfragments and interpretative text, I highlight a part of peoples’ lives often overshadowed \nby society’s privileging of youth. My investigation about aging and the body is framed by \ntheories in cultural studies and social science, as well as by art practices exploring \nfigurative representations. Drawing additionally on my personal experience, I argue that \nthe meaning of middle age in Euro-American society is not monolithic. Rather, as \nevidenced in my figurative sculptures, people construct their identity as middle age in \nmultiple, fragmented, and intangible narratives that they continue to transform throughout \nthis midlife phase.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
