Sounding Space Junk

by Irradiation (Patricia Enigl)
"Sounding Space Junk” is the second of a series of webaudio installations under the overall title “Perspectives”. The series “Perspectives” is an exploration of realtime data-sonification as permanent audio installations in virtual space. “Sounding Space Junk” lets the listener experience the dense web of satellites that surround us every day in earth orbit. Hidden from plain sight this space above our heads has become quite crowded with objects. Since the launch of legendary Sputnik about 9.000 satellites from 40 countries have been launched into orbit to fulfill tasks for communications, weather forecasts, scientific research and military intelligence.
