On
a transparent sculptural curtain made of water drops, which
hangs from the ceiling to the floor, new concepts are constantly
formed in water only to dissolve once again in the process of
falling. The input for the installation by Julius Popp (born
in Nuremberg in 1973) is provided by a computer programme; on
the basis of statistical rules, this selects topical keywords
from various Internet news services and transforms this digital
information into analogue data. In Julius Popp's installation,
which is located somewhere between art and science, the medium
of flowing water corresponds to the permanent stream of information
about current world events.
