Ghost City👹
This story is inspired by the ancient Chinese text Shan Hai Jing and is set in Ghost City, a place named after its creator, Ghost Qiao. The narrative is uniquely tied together by Ping Pong, with Ramenboy, a Ping Pong-playing robot, as the central figure. He is tirelessly practicing for an upcoming tournament, determined to prove his skills.
Ghost City itself is an immense machine, resembling Noah’s Ark, drifting around Volcano Ghost. Its design mirrors Ramenboy, as the city is modeled after his form, serving as a living reflection of the robot. Perhaps the only one of its kind on Monster Planet, the city exists within a Ping Pong ball—an accidental creation sent soaring into the sky by two rabbits during a fateful Ping Pong game.
This surreal and imaginative city, filled with strange inhabitants and a fantastical landscape, revolves around Ping Pong as the driving force behind its story. Even Ghost Studio, owned by Ghost Qiao, the visionary behind Ghost City, plays a pivotal role. This creative space is where she brings her ideas to life. The walls are adorned with portraits of her friends, capturing moments that inspire her work. A fish tank in the corner holds a miniature prototype of Ghost City itself, symbolizing both her visionary design and the city she built.
This VR animation, along with its derivatives such as AR cards and 3D-printed models, was showcased at the 2019 China International Import Expo (CIIE). The event was organized by the Singaporean digital company Meshminds and sponsored by Facebook (Meta).
