Three of Asia’s leading contemporary artists engage our imaginations with video works that take us out of this world. Cao Fei (b. 1978, China), a leading female artist of the post-Tiananmen generation, is known for her photographs and for her use of the virtual world of Second Life; Akino Kondoh (born 1980, Japan) made her debut with manga but is now considered an emerging talent in painting and video art; and Eko Nugroho (born 1977, Indonesia) is an influential artist who has generated a community of creative minds in his home country.
