At its center, this "fictive art" (LaFarge's term) is secured as fact by employing the language and display methods of history and science. Using typically evidentiary objects such as documentary photographs and videos, presumptively historical artifacts and relics, didactics, lectures, events, and expert opinions in technical language, artists create a constellation of manufactured evidence attesting to the artwork's central narrative. This dissimulation is temporary, with a clear "tell" often surprisingly revealed in a self-outing moment. With all its attendant consequences of mistrust, outrage, and rejection, this genre of art with a sting in its tale is a radical form whose time has come.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Antoinette LaFarge</b> is an internationally recognized new media artist with a special interest in speculative fiction and alternative histories. She has authored several books, including <em>Louise Brigham and the Early History of Sustainable Furniture Design</em> (Palgrave Macmillan 2019) and <em>Monkey Encyclopedia W </em>(ICI Press 2018). Her writing and artwork have appeared in <em>Art Journal, Wired, Leonardo, Ada, Gnosis</em>, the <em>Southern Quarterly</em>, the <em>MOSF Journal of Science Fiction</em>, and elsewhere, as well as in anthologies from MIT Press, Oxford University Press, and other international presses.
