Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has launched his initiative to solve the issue of space waste with a large-scale light performance that follows pieces of junk floating around in outer space.
The live installation, the first of which took place last Friday on 5 October in the Dutch city of Almere, saw arrows of neon green light projected into the sky to a distance of 125,000 to 136,000 miles.
The creators used real-time data provided by tracking services to point these green columns of light directly at pieces of space debris floating around above viewers’ heads at that exact time.
“The light installation is really impressive. It moves really slowly, but this makes it very dramatic,” said Roosegaarde. “It’s really great to take something very abstract and problematic, and turn it into something visual and very sharable.”
