WHAT DOES A BILLION LOOK LIKE?

In this proposal for an art installation, the goal is to make the intangible... tangible. We hear the number "a billion" every day, but do we really know how large a number it is? In this hands-on installation, visitors are encouraged to flip through the 5,000 identical 8x11" pages and see what one billion tiny dots actually looks like. Multiply this by 100 for the number of galaxies in our universe, or by 587 for the current national deficit. It drives home the point that one billion is a much, much larger number that most people realized.
