A description of the sculpture courtesy its designer:

ART: Swallow this! The classic game for all ages! Sushi never got fresher! Get Your Gold on and satisfy your cravings! This sculpture from Boulder, Colorado is a 50th anniversary golden goldfish providing fresh golden fish to masses.

ENGINEERING: The TDA-10 (Base craft) was built for the Colorado Kinetics Race as a one off machine for that event and has been running in that event since 1990. It is a 15 speed sociable tandem with independent but combinable peddle drives that can be clutched to either the land or water drives or both. 115 pounds of sub-frame, suspension and mechanics is supporting a 35 pound Kevlar/S Glass/Foam/Wood composite unibody. The back wheel assembly is another 35 pounds.

OTHER: With the seats and course debris, the whole craft is about 200 running pounds. The sculpture is 6ft high and 16ft long with 3 wheels. The top land speed is about 10 mph and the top water speed is about 7mph. Original TDA-10 Construction Team: Daniel Dorrell, Mechanical and Composite Design – Fabrication.
