Abstract
“Plagiarism is necessary. Progress depends on it. It sticks close to an author’s phrasing, exploits his expressions, deletes a false idea, replaces it with the right one. Détournement is the opposite of quotation...” 1 "The 21st century is perhaps best captured in the ‘bad’ infinity of the animated GIF, with its stuttering, frustrated temporality, its eerie sense of being caught in a time-trap.” (Fisher) ‘The flat eclecticism of the New Aesthetic and the Post-Internet generation—an endlessly multifarious universe that comes prequantified into discrete and isomorphic tumblr thumbnails.’ 2 Ignis Fatuus conjures ghostly echoes and disturbing undercurrents in contemporary life, a dark parallax to the perception of social media as a benign creative space of opportunity and friendship. Text is collaged with a staccato montage of subliminal images and cinematic fragments; the hyper-detritus of consumer capitalism over scored with an unsettling soundtrack of glitch and rupture. The ghost, rather than supernatural relic of a primitive age, is an increasingly prevalent aspect of the modern world. Immateriality and spectrality are axiomatic to the digital realms we inhabit. Life has become an immense accumulation of ghosts. Everything that was once directly lived is now haunted by itself. 1The Society of the Spectacle, Debord, G, 1967 2Speculative Aesthetics, (Mackay, Pendrell and Trafford), 2014 Ignis Fatuus was developed as part of the 'Haunters and the Haunted' segment of Speculative Tate series at Tate Britain. tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/eventseries/speculative-tate tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/talks-and-lectures/haunters-and-haunted First screened in the UK at Late at Tate Britain in the Clore auditorium on May 1st 2015 as part of the 'DISRUPT' evening in the SPECULATE series. tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/performance-and-music/late-tate-may-2015 First shown in the US as part of the 'Co-locating the Material and the Immaterial' panel at &Now 2015: Blast Radius! at CalArts, Los Angeles on March 27th 2015. andnow2015a.sched.org/event/fd54944b9fb94cc40d4827066eae52b0#.VUj3R2RViko Ghost light was screened in Canada in July 2015 as part of ISEA2015: The 21st International Symposium on Electronic Art isea2015.org/schedule/ from the 9th to the 18th of August, in the SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts, Vancouver.

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.
