While the Future Awaits: Essays on Anticipation, Duchamp and Contemporary Cuban Art
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Anticipation is a basic human condition central to the formation of experience and expectation. This thesis investigates the presence of anticipation within specific continental philosophical traditions and key art histories of the 20 th and 21 st century. The first chapter focuses on the development of anticipation within particular philosophical traditions and asks what it means to treat anticipation historically and thus open to repetition. It does so by positioning the idea of anticipation within theorizations of the modern, the postmodern, and the contemporary. The second essay argues that Marcel Duchamp's painting Coffee Mill (1911) develops, perhaps for the first time, an anticipatory logic central to the artist's oeuvre and legacy. The final essay investigates Duchamp's legacy using two Cuban case studies of contemporary Cuban art: the practices of artist Flavio Garcianda in the 1970s and Sandra Ceballos' art space (Espacio Aglutinador) since the 1990s. This study highlights the nuanced role that anticipation plays in the construction of historical narratives.

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.
