Carol Sawyer: The Natalie Brettschneider Archive, Vancouver Art Gallery
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Natalie Brettschneider Archive, at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2017-2018, deftly weaves together archival fact and archival fiction to craft an exhibition that tells a story about one (fictional) woman, a genre-blurring performance artist named Natalie Brettschneider, and her connections to a wider network of (actual) creative women.Visual artist Carol Sawyer's installation resembles a historical display constructed from documentary traces and other evidence left behind by Canadian women artists who were active in the early 20th century.Sawyer has spent the past two decades creating and documenting multimedia performances that feature Brettschneider.As part of this body of work, Sawyer has produced a rich range of records, including juvenilia, correspondence, official documents, photographs, and moving images.Within the exhibition, these records manifest as a child's notebook filled with imaginative doodles, 8 mm and 16 mm "found" historical footage, 1 and other convincingly "archival" documents.During the same 20-year period, Sawyer undertook extensive

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.
