Project Description
Michelle Foto’s Welcome to Polly's Place is a nostalgic nod to the digital pets and virtual communities of early 2000’s internet culture. Play as a celebrity chatbot navigating its identity in this bittersweet interactive fiction that explores themes of fan art/fan fiction, imposter syndrome, internet friendships, and pondering what is “real” or not online.
Artist Bio
Michelle Foto is a freelance illustrator who was born in Mandeville, Louisiana. Coming from a mixed household, Michelle was born to a Filipino immigrant and an Italian from New Orleans. Between being of mixed race and realizing their sexuality early on Michelle felt ostracized by their peers. They credit their ascension into artistry to the loneliness they felt back then. Michelle is someone who considers themself to be an artist before anything else.
