Keiken is an artist collective co-founded in 2015 by Tanya Cruz, Hana Omori and Isabel Ramos, based between London and Berlin. Keiken (the Japanese word for ‘experience,’ which is at the centre of their practice) are collaboratively building and imagining speculative futures, to test-drive new structures and ways of existing. They do this through filmmaking, gaming, installation, Extended Reality (XR), blockchain, and performance. Last June-July 2023, Keiken presented “Palu Ángel Taizōkai,” an experiential installation using VR technology and tactile devices, at the “Incubation Pod – Dreaming Worlds” exhibition organized by the Theater der Welt in Frankfurt, Germany. From 7 October 2023, they will also present “Morphogenic Angels: Chapter 1” at the exhibition “DXP (Digital Transformation Planet) – Towards the Next Interface” at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art inKanazawa, Japan. “Morphogenic Angels” is Keiken’s current ongoing and ever-evolving project, unfolding in a radically different time and space that transcends our current political, societal, financial and subjective reality. On the occasion of their visit to Japan, Keiken members will give a lecture for the first time in Tokyo. Keiken’s work transcends gender and species, and explores new and unknown visions and perceptions, while flexibly crossing multiple disciplines such as art, speculative design, games, and metaverse development. We will hear in detail about their methodologies and ideas on how art can reconstruct the “world” in the coming age and formulate questions to predict the future.
