Abstract
In what ways, to what ends, and with what violent consequences does the offshore mediate the onshore in late capitalism? This question is the (silent) spur for the essay that follows. In it I consider the interimplicated violences of labor and mediation in two contemporary maritime films: Leviathan (2012), about commercial fishing off the New England coast, and The Forgotten Space (2010), about the global shipping industry. My analysis juxtaposes the immersive aesthetic on view in Leviathan with the dialectical dilation offered in The Forgotten Space — two perspectives that, likewise modulating the visceral and the abstract, nonetheless constitute importantly distinct forms of materialist commitment. Despite such differences, both films connect or indeed mediate ocean-work and camera-work as practices in order to foreground, provocatively, labors of looking — the work involved in what Jonathan Beller terms “value-producing human attention” (2006: 4) — and thus manage to capture the arduous interchange of material processes (manufacture and circulation) with supposedly immaterial ones (attention and affect) in late capitalist life.

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.
