What happens when you cross an LED Throwie with a Koi fish? You get LED Swimmies, a.k.a. Lightfish. Basically they’re just a Throwie sealed inside of a colored plastic fish. Artist Karl Klar did an installation of 500 of these Swimmies (which don’t actually move) in the pond outside of the new Ars Electronica Center being built in Linz, Austria. Visitors to the site were given fishing poles with magnets on them to “catch” a souvenir to take home. These would be cool to put in a home pond or pool for a nighttime backyard party.
