Abstract
In 2002, an exhibition titled Art of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, 1966Revolution, -1976, appeared at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery in Vancouver. 1 Visitors to the exhibition were bombarded with the iconic images of that extraordinary decade -vivid red banners, slogans, and denunciations in bold cursive calligraphy on huge sheets of paper in the tradition of the Cultural Revolution big-character poster (dazibao), posters of peasant and proletarian heroes in attitudes of triumph and defiance, televisions playing continuous performances of revolutionary opera and ballet, and the fibreglass statue of a young Red Guard that had been created by Vancouver sculptor Arthur Cheng Shuren for the exhibition, in the style of the heroic sculptures of the mid-1960s.Presiding over the exhibition, inevitably, was the ubiquitous image of Communist Party chairman Mao Zedong, in posters, paintings, portrait busts, and other memorabilia of the times, his face "red, smooth, and luminescent" (hong, guang, liang) in the manner prescribed for the artists of the period.Mao appeared in scenes embellished or imagined from his years as a youthful revolutionary, and in a robust middle age as a benign leader, occasionally with his colleagues but more often in isolation or surrounded by throngs of enthusiastic young people or loyal crowds carefully selected to present a wholesome blend of ages, nationalities, and the revolutionary categories of worker, peasant, and soldier, male and female.To be at the exhibition was to be transported back to the Cultural Revolution, three decades after the event, and to a country that is now barely recognizable from those days.In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the Cultural Revolution not only as a massive political and social upheaval resulting from philosophical differences and personal antagonisms, but also as a time of both brutal iconoclasm and radical experimentation in the arts, the effects of which resonate long after the Cultural Revolution was condemned in

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.
