Abstract
Very Clear Instructions is a performance rooted in a distillation of everyday gestures and routine. The performance grew out of an intensive sequence of improvisatory workshops, forming a true conversation between the visual art world of John Wood and Paul Harrison and that of the dance corps of Ballet BC. The performance was held Off-site at The Polygon Gallery, North Vancouver on Friday, April 20, 2018 and was a collaboration between artists John Wood and Paul Harrison, Ballet BC and The Contemporary Art Gallery, in partnership with The Polygon Gallery. Wood and Harrison have long been concerned with the body, characteristically employing a vocabulary that connects into the spatial concerns and material world of choreography and contemporary dance. They engage with attributes such as trust, cause and effect, action and reaction, and the physical arena and dimensions in which movement and gesture occurs with characteristic observations surrounding the human condition. This performance is structured as ten episodes such as “Falling”, “Right angles” or “Lean”, and combines much of their ongoing preoccupations with a keen delight, humour and reflection on human endeavour. The familiar is made charmingly and compellingly strange, altering our perceptions as we move through the world. This collection contains evidence of the output (videos of the performance) and contextualising information, including notes and rehearsals relating to the creation of the artwork, a 300 word statement, research timeline, and research questions.

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.
