Abstract
A space within the Jane-Finch (JF) community north of Toronto, Firgrove shares similar challenges as other social housing projects in fighting negative media portrayals that situate them as hubs for crime, drugs and social issues. Affectionately known as Connections, it boasts rich cultural diversity and an unbiased caring spirit. In 2014, it was identified as 1 of 31 Toronto neighbourhoods to be designated as a Neighbourhood Improvement Area (NIA) and was subject to a “revitalization” process to redevelop aging community housing in the area, resulting in a progressive displacement of residents and dissolution of communities. In 2018, a partnership was struck between the community and creative technologists at York University with the focus on empowering the youth of this community with critical and technical skills as well as cutting edge media production technology to allow them to record, express, archive and disseminate the stories of this vibrant community as it presently exists. The project was originally motivated to function as a creative outlet for the youth to articulate the way these changes to their geographical and cultural landscapes have exposed a myriad of intersectional issues, but the outputs of the project - 2 virtual spaces that were co-created with youth now function as the only immersive archives of the buildings and community spaces that no longer exist. Given the massive change in the near future for this community, the Firgrove Immersive Media Oral Narratives Project focuses on empowering the youth of this community with critical and technical skills as well as cutting edge media production technology to allow them to record, express, archive and disseminate the stories of this vibrant community as it presently exists. This virtual environment consists of ‘bubbles’ of panoramic photographs overlayed with voices of interviews conducted through summer school programs between 2020-22, and interview clips with residents positioned around a virtual recreation of the Firgrove neighborhood – itself made by David Han through photogrammetry workflows using Google Earth images before the buildings were torn down. For Firgrove Reimagined, we also worked with youth members in the community that were part of a parallel redevelopment project in JF/Firgrove to recontextualize their artistic inclinations and inspirations from the process. Some works included in this virtual exhibit were a spoken word performance by poet Venesha Cardwell who performed her work “The Projects" through a digital twin animation; an environment co-created with community activist and hip hop producer Nathan Baya who developed a virtual stage/studio for his music series “Jane Street Speaks”; and short films by documentary filmmaker Christine Le who interviewed JF food stall owners in precarious status. To access these rooms, visitors would navigate through a virtual lobby created by David Han that was a digital twin of the JF intersection stratified by time - a lower level would lead to rooms featuring memories/past experiences, and an upper level stretching up into the clouds leading to rooms featuring more future-oriented imaginings.

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; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
