Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Images do more than represent the world; they help create it—guiding aesthetic expectations, influencing behavior, and shaping the material design of landscapes. Drawing on Heidegger, post-phenomenology, and environmental ethics, this paper examines photography as a mediating force that co-authors our experience of nature. In the age of social media, this dynamic intensifies: personal identity becomes entwined with environmental experience within hybrid spaces that blur digital and physical boundaries, merging self-expression with place-making. Tracing this shift from early conservation photography to contemporary image economies, this paper advances a hermeneutic analysis of photographic world-building and calls for an ethic grounded in ecological responsibility and poetic dwelling—one that recognizes our active role in shaping environments and embraces the co-creative entanglement of self, image, and world.

Not 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.
