Abstract
Somewhere Between Not Knowing is a 14-minute single-channel installation that traces three life stages—childhood, adolescence, and adulthood—of Hamed, a queer Afghan-Canadian man navigating curiosity, shame, and desire amid the weight of family expectation and cultural silencing. A child’s voiceover recites excerpts of David Wojnarowicz’s prophetic 1990 poem Untitled (One Day This Kid…), translated into Farsi, layered with intertitles that punctuate and fracture the semi-autobiographical vignettes. Inspired by the legacy of visual artists who have regularly appropriated antecedent work, the installation employs remix and recontextualization as artistic strategies, echoing Wojnarowicz’s text while refracting it through a diasporic, queer coming-of-age archive. The work interrogates memory, representation, and reflection, asking how a universal queer text transforms when spoken through another language, another voice, and another body.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
