Tranquil[ized] Bodies: The [Post] Post-Mortem Condition
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Tranquil[ized] Bodies: The [Post] Post-Mortem Condition is an examination of time, space, and place of being relating to the mindfulness of the body and mortality in the contemporary moment. The fully integrated human being is characterized by the ability to stand in the face of adversity and move towards the unknown, testing one’s will to live. This project is focused on highlighting a vital, metaphysical exercise of confrontation and contemplation with mortality through static, kinetic, interactive sculpture and installation, based within an industrial-organic aesthetic. Creating an immersive experience with mortality as a means to awaken the stagnant body and being, Tranquil[ized] Bodies investigates the human being’s disengagement with life, authenticity, and meaning through abject theory, embodiment and metaphor. In this document, I argue that the confrontation and contemplation with mortality is the essential pathway to the refinement of the self. The function of confrontation and contemplation mirrors my own experience as a person with a permanent illness, drawing upon my three brushes with death, to explore interaction with the unknown as a means to live mindfully.

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