Department of Cosmic Speculation

Through the prism of media, we investigate the outer margins of knowledge, reality and existence under the Department of Cosmic Speculation (DoCS). Here, we dive deeply into speculative fiction, high-concept narrative, and “what-if” scenarios challenging our knowledge of time, space, and perspective.

This archive gathers movies, novels, games, and TV shows that ask the big questions—what happens when reality breaks? How can we juggle multiple realities or histories? What are the consequences of controlling time or space? Through creative narrative, the Department acts as a focus for thought experiments brought to life, whereby every item of media is painstakingly compiled and examined for its influence on these ideas that challenge reality.
