Virtual Creatures

The internet is full of artificial life, as you surf the web you might happen upon some of these invented beings. Or you could visit www.folly.co.uk/creatures, where we have brought together the work of five artists who have created their own virtual creatures for you to play with. These creatures all live in cyberspace, where you can pet, tease, manipulate and connect with them. Once you’ve visited and fallen for these creatures, you can talk about them in folly’s specially created online forum.

Virtual Creatures is an online exhibition offering a playful and interactive experience within a virtual environment for new audiences of folly. A different creature will be highlighted each month to encourage visitors to explore the meaning and intent behind the creature’s creation and existence, connect with other visitors and folly staff by contributing to discussions and expressing their opinions.
