"Orbital Debris Simulator describes the phenomena of 'space junk' in the earth's orbit, showing points of interest between the moon and the earth such as geosynchronous orbit, medium earth orbit, and the International Space Station. Images of space toys--spaceships and action figures from various science fiction 'universes' as well as replicas of actual spacecraft--are used as stand-ins for the orbital debris itself. The book is screen and letterpress printed and viewable in 3D with enclosed anaglyph glasses."--Women's Studio Workshop Archive website, viewed on July 26, 2013.
