Re-authoring Reality Through Relational Systems

This talk presents Keiken’s Morphogenic Angels Chapters 1 and 2 as an ongoing exploration of how reality is constructed through perception, energy and relational systems.
Rather than treating digital technologies as neutral tools, the work positions them as infrastructures that shape how we feel, connect and understand the world. Through game engines, immersive environments and collaborative research, including with Deaf and Deafblind communities, the project proposes alternative modes of world-building grounded in embodied and non-visual experience.
The presentation will include a short live playthrough of the game, offering an insight into how these systems are experienced from within, where perception, interaction and environment are continuously reshaped in relation to the player.
In the context of cosmotechnics and techno-diverse futures, the talk asks how digital systems might be re-authored from within — not to optimise or control, but to support new forms of coexistence, care and shared realities.
Art + Tech x Cosmos =
The programme brings together artists, creative technologists, curators, writers, and thinkers with contributions extending across several thematic constellations: from spiritual and the mythic, socio-technological infrastructures and (de)colonial logics, to speculative futures. Through these contributions, the programme explores the potential to reshape how we think about human and nonhuman creativity, how we experience the convergence of art and technology, and how their imaginative possibilities can inspire new cultural practices and worlds. Curated by Joasia Krysa, Nuno Crespo, Daniel Ribas and José Alberto Gomes
