Keiken (経験), meaning ‘experience’ in Japanese, is an artist collective led by Hana Omori that takes a collaborative approach to creating immersive worlds through embodied storytelling, empathetic technologies, and deep world-building. Moving fluidly between games, films, installations, and performance, they craft deeply interconnected experiences that invite audiences to feel, connect, and transform.The exhibition presents Morphogenic Angels: Chapter 1, a science-fiction, single-player, action-adventure game, alongside sculptural and newly commissioned sound work, set within a site-specific installation environment. Visitors are invited to explore speculative futures where consciousness, transformation, and the boundaries of human experience are reimagined and expanded. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/9d8c2400-a442-11f1-9988-bfc638c33a5a-rimg-w1184-h740-dcf8f8e8-gmir.jpg Baltic Open Submission 2026Youth Open Call 2026 supported by FenwickGround Floor GalleryBaltic Open Submission, now in its third iteration, will showcase painting, sculpture, photography, video, and more by individuals and collectives based in the North East of England.
