A new way to look at marine life
As part of their Forever!series, Dutch designers BCXSY have created the conceptual "Infinity Aquarium," a handcrafted glass polygon in which fish can swim in an endless loop. The tank is part of a collection that attempts to solve existential problems in designi.e., defining the length of an eternity. (Other products in the series include "Destilled Nature," a vase for dead flowers, and the "Forever Dish," a plate molded with a ceramic sculpture of a steak dinner in its center.) The updated aquarium is certainly an improvement over the old model, even if the fish swimming in it are unlikely to notice the difference.

If I were a fish I would not move into this thing until they explained how fresh oxygen was going to get into the water.

I'm afraid that they didn't solve the quest to define eternity (unless it did so for the fish). But they look like goldfish so they're not for eternity in that polygon fishbowl for long.
