Overview
The Poolrooms, also known as "poolcore", are a fictional liminal space and Internet aesthetic consisting of a labyrinth of pristine, white-tiled indoor swimming pools. Originating from the "Dream Pools" series of 3D renderings by the American artist Jared Pike in the year 2020, the concept gained widespread popularity online and has since expanded beyond Pike's original work through fan creations, online communities and adaptations in video games and film.
