Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) and the Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) announced a new three-year partnership dedicated to showcasing Taiwanese moving image art and immersive technology in New York City.
The agreement builds on the strong performance of their 2025 collaboration, Portals of Solitude: Virtual Realities from Taiwan, which logged over 3,000 screenings with near-90% daily capacity — clear evidence of sustained market demand for Taiwanese immersive content in North America.
“For several years, we have been building a complete pipeline for original Taiwanese content — from early development and international exhibition to genuine box-office returns — creating a cycle that sustains creators at every stage,” said Sue Wang, TAICCA Chairperson. “Our collaboration with MoMI is central to that effort: it gives Taiwanese work a stable platform in North America where revenue, audiences, and institutional resources reinforce one another.” Wang noted that the three-year commitment is designed to demonstrate, in one of the world’s most competitive markets, that Taiwanese storytelling can sustain real popular demand.
The partnership launches this year with two works: Proof As If Proof Were Needed, an interactive film installation and winner of the Special Jury Award at the 2025 SXSW Festival, and Sense of Nowhere, a VR work that had its international debut in the Immersive Competition at the 2025 Venice Film Festival. Both run at MoMI from June 12 through September 6.
The two works reflect different strengths within Taiwan’s immersive landscape. Proof As If Proof Were Needed is a co-production between Taiwanese artist Ting-Tong Chang and British artist collective Blast Theory. Visitors move through a Taiwanese British domestic space, stepping into each room to piece together the fragments of a failing marriage. Its Special Jury Award at the 2025 SXSW Festival underscored the reach of Taiwan’s international co-production work in cultural technology.
Sense of Nowhere traces a VR project’s journey from development to ticket-selling exhibition. Artist Hsin Hsuan Yeh began the project through TAICCA’s 2023 Villa Formose Immersive Program, drawing on religion and Jungian psychology for the project’s philosophical core. Using gesture-tracking technology, the work leads audiences through a sensory world suspended between sound and the subconscious. It made its international debut at the 2025 Venice Film Festival’s Immersive Competition before opening to ticketed audiences in New York. That arc — from a funded residency to a major museum run — reflects the deliberate, long-term investment TAICCA has made in building Taiwanese immersive content for the global market.
The partnership’s scope will grow over the coming years. This year’s focus is on testing the international distribution viability of multi-participant interactive installations and international co-productions in North America. Future programming will pursue wider global distribution across a broader range of content formats and jointly explore the possibilities of MoMI’s new MoMI LAB space. The longer-term aim is to transition Taiwanese creators from time-limited exhibitions to a lasting institutional presence.
