This is an artwork by German artist Julius Popp. Julius Popp participated in the large-scale
installation art project for the 2012 London Olympics.
His work sits on
the boundary between art and science.
It scans the internet and
randomly pulls the most popular words, turns them into water, and drops them.
It’s almost like aquatic data visualization.
Bit-fall displays words
selected from the internet via drops of falling water in precise configuration,
each word visible only for a second.
The ephemeral information-curtain is a metaphor for
the incessant flood of information we are exposed to and from which we draw our
perpetually changing realities. The visual information is only ever temporarily
perceptible as an image before it dissolves into itself. All that remains are
the associations formed within the viewer’s mind.
