Abstract:
Panel: Assimilate This… Science Fiction and Media Art
Keywords: Speculative objects, Science fiction, Curatorial practice based research, Awfully Wonderful: Science Fiction in Contemporary Art, Performance Space.
In this essay I propose the idea of the ‘speculative object’ as a way of understanding how some artworks and artefacts function in human experience as philosophical tools. I explore the way in which objects materialize science fictional structures, in particular the way they provoke and support speculative thought.
