Abstract
The project investigates the latent locations of the home land of Odysseus, the hero of the Homeric epic poem ‘The Odyssey’. Travelling through the 7 locations that have been throughout the history of enquiry following the Odyssey, pictures were made by superimposing reversed negatives on plates of solid sterling silver. As the exact location of Ithaca is still a matter of debate, the works deal with each location democratically, and investigate the very idea of ‘home’ as a latent state, affirming and investigating the presence of the precious metal of silver in traditional photography. \n \n'Ithaca' is a practice-based research project comprised of following artefacts: \n \n80 images on solid sterling silver plates 8x10 inches in dimension \nSalt sculpture composed of 30 kilos of four different kinds of table salt \n7 carvings of maps on glass using a custom-made diamond cutter 20x 24 inches in dimension \n24 text-pieces on vinyl \n7 etchings on silver plate 5x4 inches in dimension \nSculptural piece made of 7 stones from the seven proposed locations and an additional stone plated in sterling silver \n \n \nThe Project was made possible through the Alice Duncan Travel Prize, awarded from the Glasgow School of Art in the summer of 2008. The project was disseminated through a publication in the Art and Research magazine (Glasgow), in LightLeaks Magazine (USA) and in the Periodical publication of the Scottish Society for the History of Photography and also through a series of talks. There were also 2 solo shows, one in Scotland and the other one in Greece, where the work was shown. Additionally the work was shown in 1 group show \n \nThe project was also shortlisted for the Morton Award of the Royal Scottish Academy in 2009

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.
