dc.description.abstract“A Cup of Tea in Infinite Futures: A Positive Look at Speculative Fates,” explores the sentimental aspects of speculation for the future. Research pertaining to this thesis has included examining the connection between the concept of speculation, its use in the speculative fiction genre over the past twenty years (in literature, film, art, and social media), and its shifts in culture. Furthermore, I will share observations about how these fictions have affected everyday / slice-of-life speculation during the COVID-19 pandemic. With this background in mind, how have these cultural speculations on an individual and collective level altered personal imaginings of life to come? The culmination of my own speculations about the future will provide the content for a series of vignette/diorama scenes. These scenes will present possible outcomes that I’ve imagined for myself as kinetic sculptures.
