Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Concepts have teeth and its predicate and teeth that bite through time is a direct quotation from Mohawk anthropologist Audra Simpson’s 2007 text On Ethnographic Refusal: Indigeneity, ‘Voice’ and Colonial Citizenship. She is writing about the differential power of one account over another in establishing the terms of being seen or being present. The deep philosophical histories of seeing and knowing [and visualisation] tied to legal fiat, enable disproportionately empowered political forms. Here is idea as a thing with teeth, a thing that’s had enough, wakes up and bites back. The bite itself viciously sensitises time to break into moments of affect, expanding way beyond linear chronology and into fury or trauma. A concept-with-teeth is an anti-cartesian assemblage, an agential, relational entity. It’s potent and liable to unsettle disciplines and trouble worldviews. One of my questions is how new materialisms [Barad, Bennett, Haraway] intersect with indigenous ways of knowing. As an artist Minkin has been working with archaeologists for a while. First learning digital visualisation technology in a demolition site and bringing it to creative use in art school, then, working on the portable objects of the UK Neolithic and thinking about how data capture and processing produces new objects with their own anatomy, pathology and ontology. More recently Minkin has begun a project in collaboration with knowledge holders of the Blackfoot people of Alberta, Canada and Montana USA which involves digitally imaging some of their objects in UK collections. These objects, exchanged historically under fraught and unequal conditions, are themselves sites of encounter between cultures, embodiments of contact and relation. They are hybrid, mended and remade entities. Local material and processes are interwoven and embedded with settler material, some by act of substitution, mending, replacement. Minkin is thinking about digitisation as a narrative of 'contact' with implications for larger conceptual changes in art and archaeology.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
