Artists VOLTA NY 2008
Presented by: Dogenhaus
1973, Nuremberg, Germany
In bit.flow and macro.flow, Julius Popp takes the poetic image of the flow to address his general concern with the interexchange between systems, information and cultural environments. Playing with the concepts of the flow of nature and the flux of information, both works produce highly coded images forcing us to consider the construction of a new territorial identity.
The same way bit.flow´s red dots, as if blood, „carry code“ (in a metaphorical sense) producing an image of our body, the diverse macro.flow robots, scattered around the world, act as small transmitters creating a rhizomatic image of our environment. This challenges both our traditional cognitive structures and produces a dynamic representation of the world.
