The internet is full of artificial life, as you surf the web you might happen upon some of these invented beings. In this online exhibition we have brought together the work of five artists who have created their own virtuali creatures for you to play with. These creatures all live in cyberspacei, 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, where we highlight a different creature every month.

We’d love to read your thoughts and comments - it's easy to register for folly's forum, just click here to choose a usernamei and get a password sent to your email address.

Please note that the active period of this online experience ran throughout 2007. All 5 highlighted Virtual Creatures remain listed here on folly's website. folly's new follyplay online experience can be found in bebo - check it out and get involved now at http://follyplay.bebo.com
