39,221 Las Vegas Pools

Projected digital image

2009

The work is an electronic drawing that undertakes to trace all of the swimming pools within the Las Vegas city limits. Taking Google Earth as its source, each pool is drawn in the same colour as its photographic image and all of the pools relate to each other as they do in real space. The work is presented as a projected image that the viewer can navigate with a mouse. At a 300% zoom streets become clear and at a still higher zoom the screen is filled with distinct graphic images of individual pools.
