Social Pool Social Pool is an artwork created in 2014 by the Austrian artist Alfredo Barsuglia. The work consists of a swimming pool that is five feet deep, five feet wide, and 11 feet long. The pool is in an isolated location in the Mojave Desert in Southern California, United States.〔 The pool is open to anyone to use, but users of the pool must contact the West Hollywood art institute, the MAK Centre for Art and Architecture, to obtain the GPS coordinates and a key to open the pool's cover.〔 As stipulated by the artist, only one person or a small group may use the pool and the key must then be returned to the MAK Centre within 24 hours.〔〔 Users must also take a gallon of water with them to replace any water that has evaporated from the pool.〔 The exact location of the pool was originally intended to remain unknown to the general public, however, aerial photography from Google Maps reveals its location to be in southwestern San Bernardino County at approximately . ==Design== The pool is white in design and unadorned by signs. The title of the artwork is reflected in the pool's design; the size enables "one or two people to stand or sit on either of its sides" with a bench is incorporated into each side.〔 The institute describes the walls of each segment of the pool as being "...so high that the seated person cannot easily see whoever sits in the adjacent space, despite the fact that they are just next-door."〔 The physical isolation of the pool has been likened to American Land Art installations in deserts including Walter de Maria’s ''The Lightning Field '' in New Mexico, Robert Smithson’s ''Spiral Jetty'', and Nancy Holt’s ''Sun Tunnels'' in Utah.〔
