Julius Popp was born on 1973 Lives in Leipzig, Germany, Currently Lives and works New York, NY.Julius Popp uses technology as a means to separate and objectify natural, social, and cultural processes and cognitive structures. Exploring and inventing a formal and functional language in order to express his artistic preoccupations leads Julius Popp to develop machines and robots capable of interacting with their environment and even develop a form of artificial consciousness. At the intersection between art and science, the works of Julius Popp enlarge.
Using technological wizardry, Julius Popp’s Bitfall reproduces the ‘flood’ of media information in the form of a real waterfall. Comprised of 128 nozzles, Popp’s curtain collects a continuous stream of water droplets. Directing their flow with a complex system of magnetic valves controlled by computer, text and graphics randomly selected from the internet appear in the drizzling liquid, creating a DIYplasma screen. As each message drips into a collection tank, its feeds back into the cycle, creating a metaphor for the impermanence and flux of the perception of ‘reality’.
