Abstract
<p class="first" id="d1034897e74">All the Stars We Cannot See (2020–2022) by Megan Smith & Yujie Gao, is an interactive immersive installation which geographically places the user in locations around the world so that they can look up into a virtual sky and see in real-time which satellites are flying overhead. With the satellite identification application, N2YO, tracking more than 23,000 satellite objects combined with the rapid increase of SpaceX launches, the artists are working to render visible an experience which will allow people to see the impact of the satellites in the sky, and to understand the presence of technology surveillance globally. This project is in development with UBC Visualisation Emergent Media Studio, with a proposed public launch on their state-of-the-art multi-screen immersive system in Spring 2021. The project will be adapted for a sensory enhanced VR exhibition and for an Augmented Reality application.

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 it
