children about
something like
The California
Kelp Forest by
flying there in
a flight simulator.

Ann Marion
designed
5 interacting
creatures based
on symbiotic
relationships in the
Kelp Forest.

She had to design
fluid movement using
only convex
polygons, solving it
by creating free
flowing jointed
segmented bodies.

Playground is a completed project of the Vivarium Program within Apple Compu
