Founded in London in 2015. Based between London and Berlin.

Keiken (経験), meaning “experience” in Japanese, is an artist collective led by Hana Omori, pioneering a collaborative approach to creating immersive worlds through embodied storytelling, empathetic technologies, and deep world-building. Their work moves fluidly between games, films, installations, and performance, crafting experiences that prototype speculative futures. Keiken create deeply interconnected experiences that invite audiences to feel, connect, and transform.
