Web users are invited to design digital beasties to inhabit the updated TechnoSphere Web site at the London Institute (http://www.lond-inst.ac.uk/technosphere/index.html) They will join hoover-mouthed serpents with six eyes, herds of horned beasts with spiral bodies and yellow trumpet gliders. The developers will be changing the site rapidly over the next few weeks, adding new functions to the Creature Designer software so that the design of artificial life-forms can become more complex as beta testing continues.
