39,221 Las Vegas Pools is an electronic drawing that undertakes to trace all of the swimming pools within the Las Vegas city limits. 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 to be zoomed into using 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.
