Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This volume has emerged from discussions about the status of arts practice and its legitimacy as research. Art-making as a means of research enquiry remains ambiguous and ephemeral, but increasingly acknowledged as an important way to model our knowledge and experience of the world. In the past two decades there have been great strides in its identification within the academy, with phrases like ‘practice-based’, ‘practice-led’ research or ‘artistic research’ being acknowledged as legitimate pursuits, if slippery to identify. What always seems to come along with this is some kind of exploration of the new. This isn’t like innovation in other fields, but has properties and perspectives that are specific to it as methods of enquiry. These methods are uncontroversial within creative practice and represent a challenge to thinking about research as textual or text-based outcomes that can be easily assessed. This volume collects a number of different perspectives on the status and practice of art as a method or research enquiry. Together they represent a conversation about how we work in this field and what methods work.

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.
