A 7-minute visual poem introducing the emotional, conceptual, and spatial language of City of Apparition. Viewers wear a VR headset and interact with floating sculptural fragments in physical space, assembling a small spacecraft from the remnants of Lin Shu-Kai’s architectural forms. The vessel rises into a fractured sky, initiating the ascent toward Sky City. This 1:18 excerpt is taken from the Prelude. We are now in the process of building Sky City, the next chapter in the work.

From September 1 to November 20, 2025 FuturePerfect and Taiwan artist Lin Shu-Kai presented their joint exhibition Unhoming Reworlding at the Der-Horng gallery in Tainan. During this exhibition we showed our prototype City of Apparition, a mixed reality experience and artistic response to un-homing—a profound dislocation that occurs when individuals are torn from both their physical environments and the cultural and psychological foundations of their lives. When the full work will be completed, City of Apparition will take audiences on a fantastical and spiritual journey inspired by science fiction, history, speculative futures, and fantasy. The project merges experiential design, theatrical elements, and cutting-edge storytelling, seamlessly blending physical and digital worlds. Special thanks to: @agilelens , our production partner, for their extraordinary work developing and refining the prototype, @der_horng_art_gallery for their generous support and thoughtful presentation of both Shu-Kai's paintings and our demo, @theodore_c_schafer , for the haunting sound design and music, actor Scott Shepherd, whose extraordinary voice brought the narrative of the prototype to life, project assistants Chen Ying-Ting and Cheng An-Li, and The National Culture and Arts Foundation (NCAF), Taiwan, for their invaluable support. Thank you to Xander Seren, Rui Pereira and @team.rolfes for their invaluable feedback.
