RESEARCH NOTE

In the public opening of NLR 140/141, March–June 2023, Steyerl analyses generated imagery as probabilistic/social filtering and describes finding her photographs in dataset search and contrasting generated portraits. Opening only, not full article; no login/payment/mirror bypass, later search excerpts not used as read evidence. Figures unviewed and dataset/prompt/model claims unreplicated. Janus explanation is tentative; metaphors not general technical findings. Issue span not an exact date or proof of identical lecture text.
