A very interesting art piece at MONA!
BIT.FALL by Julius Popp
Essentially a printer for water, it creates words in drops of water, each only legible for a second or less as they fall and then are lost forever. Ephemeral. The words are generated in real-time based on internet usage trends.
The piece is set up against the bare rock underground.
I’m not sure if it’s appreciation, desecration, or both, to photograph and preserve what is otherwise an ephemeral work. Photos on 35mm film.
