Theta’s World (2023, image), an experimental videogame created by Lawrence Lek in the X Virtual incubator program, launches online. Commissioned by Beijing’s X Museum, the self-described simulation artist and sinofuturist is true to form here, presenting an imagined smart city—SimBeijing—that can be navigated in-browser. Between the floating architectural forms, urban geometries, and scattered text fragments, the experience presents “whispering stories that shift and morph with every journey undertaken.”
