Debris

The title of Debris refers to the sound of airplanes, television and radio broadcasts, mobile phones etc. that humans produce and accumulates in the atmosphere. In the sound installation Debris, radio waves from the atmosphere and signals from a pulsar (a dying star) has made audible. The work consists of 7-14 speakers hanging from the ceiling in a circle, creating an acoustic space. Standing in the room, you gradually hear the full impact of space that is quiet and meditative.

Satellites and research stations on earth capture radio waves from space. Data is collected and made into audio files, and thus becomes audible, and then analysed by scientists and artists.

Debris is one of the first works carried out in the multiannual project Debris & other pieces.
