An Art History of the Future traces the representation and contextualisation of art in science fiction. The project is a double gatefold timeline with augmented reality overlays that quantifies the differences between near-field and far-field speculative art in science fiction novels and film.¹

The visualisation shows that the greater the difference between the date of publication of the novel/film and the date of setting in the fictional work, the more fanciful and abstract the representation of the art.²
