Abstract
The retrospective exhibition of Alan Glass' surrealist constructions, boxes, collages, assemblages, and paintings opened at the Museo de Arte Moderno in Mexico City in November, 2008.The works' magical worlds, exquisitely wrought within his Wunderkabinetts and Wunderkammers, continued to enchant visitors through April, 2009.The exhibition confirmed Alan Glass' inclusion in the international lineage of important surrealist artists living and working in the Americas.Glass' art studies, visionary quests, and surrealist wanderings have taken him from Montreal to Paris and on to Mexico City, where he ultimately took up permanent residence and has lived since the sixties, receiving his Mexican citizenship in the spring of 2009.Born in Montreal in 1932 and student of the painter Alfred Pellan, Glass was awarded a scholarship from the French government to study art in France in 1952.Thus began his pilgrimage in search of rare objects from realms of the Marvelous.He supported himself in Saint-Germain-des-Prs in Paris by working in jazz clubs.He experimented with the newly issued Bic ballpoint pen for his automatic drawings.He became the first artist to employ the Bic pen for these innovative works, which were immediately discovered and praised by the Surrealists.In 1957 he traveled to Berlin, Dresden, Prague, and then returned to Paris.

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 it
