Created by the SymbioticA research group in collaboration with US researchers Steve M Potter, Tom DeMarse and Alexander Shkolnik. Involved using the electrical activity of fish neurons to control a robotic arm which producing a drawing and sound. The installation consisted of a laboratory/studio style set-up, prototypes and project documentation. In 2002 this project evolved into the artwork 'Meart – the semi living artist’.
