Bibliographic record
Abstract
Series convened by Jorella Andrews This series takes a fresh look at the issues, insights and strategies that are emerging in the transdisciplinary field of visual culture today, a field that we understand as a meeting ground between creative practices, the philosophical and the political. During AUTUMN 2020, our contributors will report from terrain relating to four of our eight departmental research clusters: Globalisation and Transcultural Practices; Environmental Humanities and Ecologies; Sexes, Genders, Genres; Philosophy, Visual Theory, and Political Aesthetics. Oct 8 Doing Things with Being Undone in the Necrocene. With Professor Jill H. Casid (University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA) Oct 22 Volatility Cultures: Financial Crisis and Governance by Neglect. With Professor Gargi Bhattacharyya (University of East London) Nov 5 Material Witness: Media, Forensics, Evidence. With Susan Schuppli (Director of the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths) Nov 19 The Feminist Legacy of Socialist Yugoslavia: Jugoslovenka and her Performance Politics With Dr Jasmina Tumbas (SUNY, Buffalo, USA) Dec 10 Poetics of Deconstruction With Lynn Turner and Mariam Motamedi-Fraser (Goldsmiths) During SPRING 2021, our contributors will report from terrain relating to five of our eight departmental research clusters: Spatial Practice and Architecture; Curating and Institutional Practice; Technologies of Image and Sound; Culture, Memory,Futurity; Philosophy, Visual Theory, and Political Aesthetics. Jan 14 The Aesthetics of Borders. With Charles Heller (Graduate Institute, Geneva, Switzerland) Jan 28 Crisis and the Aesthetics of Decoloniality. With Anthony Faramelli (Goldsmiths) Feb 11 The Strangeness of Dub. With Edward George (Black Audio Film Collective; Flow Motion; Hallucinator) Feb 25 From Curatorial/Knowledge to Advanced Practices. With Irit Rogoff, Bridget Crone and Adnan Madani (Goldsmiths) Mar 11 Potential Histories. With Ariella Aïsha Azoulay (Brown University, USA) Mar 25 Solitude in the Time that Remains. With John Paul Ricco (University of Toronto, Canada) Underlying all of these investigations are broad questions about why and how visual culture matters in the context of contemporary global challenges — in terms of the modes of attention and levels of investigation our methodologies bring into play, for instance, or by enlarging our capacities to locate sites for potential change within unpromising scenarios, or by engaging aesthetically as well as critically in what the artist and organiser Makoto Fujimura has called “culture care”.

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.
