Here鈥檚 one from the 鈥渂ecause it鈥檚 there鈥� department. Visitors to London鈥檚 Festival of Extreme Computing discovered last week that a bionic fish cake is roaming the Mediterranean. Electronic artist Paul Granjon fitted an ordinary fish cake with an electric motor, a propeller and a battery. Everything apart from the propeller was sealed inside a waterproof bag. At the festival, which serves as a showcase for marvellously inappropriate technologies, Granjon showed a video of his robo fish cake being released into the sea near Marseille. 鈥淚deally it would be nice for it to swim until it dies,鈥� he says of his reanimated fish product. 鈥淚ts battery will run out or it will leak.鈥� His latest arty invention is a 鈥渃ybernetic parrot sausage鈥�: a sausage stuffed with the electronic innards of a toy parrot. It repeats whatever is said to it while a motor makes it wriggle about on a plate. There鈥檚 probably a vegetarian message here somewhere鈥�
