But you’re just going to miss seeing the really good stuff.
Julius Popp uses controlled drips of water to create a waterfall of words and images.
A horizontal module with computer-controlled valves hung from the ceiling releases droplets at precise times to form predetermined shapes.
The result is a word or message that seems to magically rain down from the ceiling and then disappear upon impact with the floor.
Popp describes bit.fall as a “metaphor for the incessant flood of information we are exposed to.”
You can call it a metaphor for whatever you like, I call it an amazing example of combining technology and art.
