The Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) and the Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) have announced an expanded three-year partnership to promote Taiwanese immersive content in New York. This collaboration, revealed on July 3, 2026, builds on a successful 2025 initiative that attracted over 3,000 screenings with nearly 90% daily capacity.
The partnership kicks off with two featured works at MoMI until September 6: “Proof As If Proof Were Needed”, an interactive installation by Taiwanese artist Ting-Tong Chang and British collective Blast Theory, and “Sense of Nowhere”, a gesture-tracking VR experience by Hsin Hsuan Yeh, which premiered at the 2025 Venice Film Festival’s Immersive Competition.
Significance of the Partnership for Taiwanese Art
According to Sue Wang, chair of TAICCA, this collaboration is crucial for establishing a stable platform in North America for Taiwanese works. Wang stated, "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." This partnership not only enhances visibility but also fosters cultural exchange.
The previous collaboration in 2025 was marked by impressive attendance, indicating a robust interest in Taiwanese immersive art. This new phase aims to further capitalize on that momentum, providing a continuous showcase for innovative works from Taiwan.
