Pet fish often suffer from depression, but Leonardo da Fishy, resident artiste at Fisch School of the Arts, has found his creative voice through cutting-edge assistive technology. A camera, placed above his bowl, tracks his movements (via Processing), and a corresponding sketch (\"Swimpressionist Painting\") is created in real-time and projected onto a mini-easel and canvas.

Da Fishy is one of a school of painters that include esteemed swimpressionists like Sandro Bettacelli, Vincent van Goldfish, Karp Rothko, and the late Pablo Pescado.

Their work is often a reflection of their mood and habitat, and is best viewed serially, which is why a gallery if da Fishy\'s most recent works (also updated real-time) will also be on display.
