Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This article reflects on the ways that the last three decades have expanded possibilities for the creation and distribution of independently made images. Digital frameworks have provided unprecedented levels of access for marginalized experiences; those that capital deems expendable are now documented, circulated, and archived. Moufawad-Paul’s notion of “pathological afterimages” identifies the stakes of this visual phenomenon and suggests ways that engagements with the political moment through curatorial projects can convey knowledge beyond narrative logic.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
