Since then, the empty space of our universe has become a dangerous place for manned space travel in the immediate vicinity of Earth. Almost all space flights leave parts behind, in different orbits and speed. The majority of them fall back to earth within short time to burn up in the atmosphere. However, especially faster parts remain in orbit for many decades. Scientists warn against cascading effects that will become more likely with each additional object and each collision between these objects.<\/p>\n<p>DEBRIS manifests all catalogued pieces of debris in chronological order as tiny, burned-in marks on cardboard. The cardboard is exchanged when the visualisation of one decade of space debris is completed.<\/p>\n<p>DEBRIS is currently on display at Kunsthaus Troisdorf, Germany. Over the course of the exhibition the laser continuously engraves space debris for each decade since the 1960s.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"15036\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?attachment_id=15036\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/plexnoir_debris-10.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1600,995\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Daniel Jonas Becker&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 7D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1506180595&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;640&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Debris 10 &amp;#8211; Plex Noir\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/plexnoir_debris-10-1024x637.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15036\" src=\"http:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/plexnoir_debris-10-1024x637.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/plexnoir_debris-10-1024x637.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/plexnoir_debris-10-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/plexnoir_debris-10-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/plexnoir_debris-10.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0PLEX NOIR\u00a0artists collective in Germany has created an installation piece titled\u00a0Debris, which is currently on exhibit at the\u00a0Kunsthaus Troisdorf\u00a0in Germany.
