The Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) and the Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) have signed a three-year partnership to showcase Taiwanese immersive content and moving image art in New York, strengthening the international reach of Taiwan’s immersive sector. The agreement follows the success of their 2025 collaboration, Portals of Solitude: Virtual Realities from Taiwan, which generated more than 3,000 screenings and achieved nearly 90% daily capacity, highlighting strong audience demand for Taiwanese immersive experiences 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 added that the three-year agreement is intended to demonstrate that Taiwanese storytelling can generate sustained audience demand in one of the world's most competitive entertainment markets.

The partnership launches with two immersive productions running at MoMI from June 12 to September 6: Proof As If Proof Were Needed, an interactive film installation that received the Special Jury Award at the 2025 SXSW Festival, and Sense of Nowhere, a VR experience that made its international debut in the Immersive Competition at the 2025 Venice Film Festival.
Proof As If Proof Were Needed is a co-production between Taiwanese artist Ting-Tong Chang and UK-based collective Blast Theory. The interactive installation places visitors inside a Taiwanese-British home, where they uncover the story of a deteriorating marriage by exploring different rooms. Its recognition at SXSW highlights Taiwan’s growing presence in international immersive co-productions.
Meanwhile, Sense of Nowhere illustrates TAICCA’s long-term development strategy for immersive content. Created by artist Hsin Hsuan Yeh, the project originated through TAICCA’s 2023 Villa Formose Immersive Program and combines religious themes with Jungian psychology, using gesture-tracking technology to immerse audiences in a sensory experience between sound and the subconscious. After premiering in Venice, the work moved to a commercial museum exhibition in New York, demonstrating a pathway from creative development to international exhibition.

Over the next three years, TAICCA and MoMI plan to broaden the partnership by testing the international distribution potential of multi-user interactive installations and cross-border co-productions in North America. Future initiatives will also explore new immersive formats through MoMI LAB, with the long-term goal of establishing a sustained institutional presence for Taiwanese creators in international markets.
