Spawned in the Art & Science lab, "Nifty Fish" is an interactive art installation that allows anyone with a smartphone to design a unique fish, and then “fling” it from their phone into the public tank. With 10 options each for each body part, there are over 30,000 species of Nifty Fish to create and discover.

"Nifty Fish" has appeared in several family-friendly venues, including TIFF’s digiPlaySpace, the Buffalo Science Museum, the doSeum in San Antonio and THEMUSEUM in Kitchener, Ontario.
