Abstract
Polytope XXI is the title of a concert presented by Montreal-based percussion sextet Sixtrum to pay tribute to Iannis Xenakis. It is also the name that composers Myriam Boucher and Dominic Thibault have given to their monumental instrumental project that was premiered during this concert in May 2022: a sort of giant, electronically augmented, audio-luminescent harp, whose strings are put in vibration by multiple means by the percussionists of Sixtrum during the concert. The project was inspired by the first Polytope imagined by Iannis Xenakis, an ‘electronic sculpture combining light, music, and structure’, that was presented inside the French Pavilion during Expo67—the World’s Fair that took place in Montreal in 1967. This original installation created an artistic work inscribed in space and made of multiple layers of sound and light, and was designed so that spectators could move freely within the installation itself. Polytope XXI inverts this approach and sets the installation on stage with the goal to make it mobile, so that changes in the perception of space, light and sound can still be experienced by the audience, while also taking advantage of modern technological capabilities (actuators, sensors, etc). Here, we present a live recording of the world premiere of this work.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
