Julius Popp
Julius Popp (born 1973, Nuremberg) is an artist based in Leipzig. • Illustration — Bit.Fall Pulse, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, Korean Air Box Project 2015 • Illustration — bit.fall in the Dutch city of Groningen (2014) His work often uses technology, resulting in interdisciplinary ventures which reach across the boundaries of art and science. An example of Popp's work is Bitfall (2005): a machine which displays words selected from the internet via drops of falling water in precise configuration, each word visible only for a second. A bit.fall installation was at the London 2012 Olympic Park under the footbridge between the main entrance and stadium, the words generated using water from the Waterworks River were chosen at random from internet news feeds.
