Department of Conceptual Studies

The Department of Conceptual Studies, or DoCS, is where we explore the outer edges of thought, reality, and existence through the lens of media. Here, we dive deep into speculative fiction, high-concept storytelling, and the “what-if” scenarios that challenge our understanding of time, space, and perception.

This archive collects movies, books, games, and television shows that ask the big questions: What happens when reality breaks? How do we navigate alternate histories or timelines? What are the consequences of manipulating space or time? The Department serves as a hub for thought experiments brought to life through imaginative storytelling, where each piece of media is meticulously cataloged and analyzed for its contribution to these reality-bending ideas.

Join us as we explore the concepts that push the boundaries of our understanding—and maybe even uncover new dimensions of thought.
