About the work

In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved path of one object around

a point or another body, for example the gravitational orbit of a planet

around a star. This composition seeks to purvey the polluted nature of the

earth’s orbiting satellites. This pollution creates and transmits an endless

feedback of information – from the first satellite in orbit, to the last –

absorbed by the surrounding universe, for (what is believed to be) the

eternity of the universe’s existence.
