Abstract:New techniques in the simulation of nature are giving computer-generated environment a more organic appearance. In particular, development sin "artificial life" modelling promise to populate future cyberspaces with diverse , autonomous beings. This can be viewed as an impending estrangement from "real" nature, but we might better conceive of virtual natures as a culmination of a lengthy Western tradition of representing the natural world in increasingly exuberant two- and three-dimensional forms.
