"Land of Illusion" has been developed by Beijing artists Lily & Honglei since 2006.

The piece is constructed in Second Life with virtual traditional Chinese architecture where Lily & Honglei have created a series of networked-performances and multimedia installations.

It is a cultural meditation engaging folklore, history, philosophy as well as Chinese diaspora. The work examines the current development of China within the context of globalization, while simultaneously exploring the meaning of virtual online communities in terms of global dialogues as they relate to cultural roots and the fantasy of China.

More importantly, "Land of Illusion" is a virtual world art project that proposes solutions for preserving and re-evaluating cultural heritage with digital arts.
