German-born artist Julius Popp has developed a technological device to make a waterfall of a liquid screen. Each drop of water is a falling pixel. This technology also allows big three dimensional installations to permit various uses of this work in such areas as those of publicity and the commercial events.
“bit.fall” - a machine that controls falling streams and drips of water to create beautiful, and incredibly temporary, words and images. It’s almost like aquatic data visualization. Described by Popp himself as a “metaphor for the incessant flood of information we are exposed to”, the end result is just incredibly beautiful.
Julius Popp is interested in the process of recycling that which appears to disappear in the structure of information more than the message Bit-fall can carry.

Sadly, Popp did not come up with this technology. That honor belongs to Stephan Pevnick who was contracted by JEEP to make a display for their display room.
