«Morphogenic Angels», Keiken’s current ongoing worldbuilding project, is an ever-evolving universe set 1000 years from now, unfolding in a radically different time and space that transcends our current political, societal, financial and subjective reality. It explores a future where people have gained post-human capabilities through the organic reengineering of their cells, therefore tapping into non-human consciousness. In this future world, post-human entities are now considered «Angels», and they value and draw from all kinds of consciousness; ancestral, bodily, extraterrestrial, as well as animal, nature, cellular, and the cosmos.
Audiences may interact with the «Morphogenic Angels» universe through a single-player game, which can also be viewed like a film during gameplay. Everything in Morphogenic Angels is in simulation mode, so the screening is always live and responding to the choices of the player.
