Overview
Founded in 2015 by Tanya Cruz, Hana Omori and Isabel Ramos, the artist collective Keiken are collaboratively building and imagining speculative futures to test-drive new ways of existing. They do this through filmmaking, gaming, installation, XR, blockchain, and performance.
Students will get the chance to visit Keiken in their studio at Somerset House- engaging in their practice, discovering what digital collaboration really looks like, hearing more about worldbuilding, and their project the Morphogenic Angels inclusing an introduction to their haptic womb technologies.
