Abstract
Selected by The UK National Archives as a ‘Highlight of the Year in Archives, 2024’, this research is focused on a recurrent project that investigates performative ritual as a mode of reframing fragmented memories and trauma as a way of repairing hope, a portal created to bring resilience. Time and archive are reimagined through the ritual of Perpetual Karaoke (Film, Archive, Performance and Exhibition); Everything We Did conjures sixteen weeks of 1991 into the present. Everything We Did invokes portals of popular culture, creating ‘a social resource’ (Drew, 2001), where anyone can become what that want to be. With a focus on the months of the collapse of the USSR and declaration of Ukrainian independence in 1991, the karaoke space becomes comparable to an active haunting, inviting the participants to create a ‘collective bonding’ (Pierce, Laurnay et al) to reimagine and reinterpret the past, delving into ‘Entangles Histories’ and ‘counter-factuals’, (Shevel & Popova, 2023). ‘What haunts the digital cul-de-sacs of the twenty-first century is not so much the past as all the lost futures that the twentieth century taught us to anticipate.’ (Fisher 2012). Participants are invited to join the ritual of the karaoke, which is inhabited by masked narrators, (as in Cindy Sherman’s Play of Selves, ‘alter-egos that compete inside the self’). There is only one song, the endurance and repetition conjure energies past and present. These are recounted in testimonies which form the perpetual collection of cultural and historical reinterpretation through participation. These have included queer histories, Ukrainian personal accounts and archive reinterpretation. Everything We Did featured at the MeCCSA conference in September 2024 as a 9 hour performance, exhibition and film. This presentation is a reflection of this ongoing Perpetual Karaoke project.

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.
