His work often uses technology, resulting in interdisciplinary ventures which reach across the boundaries of art and science.Gallery Jocelyn Wolff
An example of Popp’s work is ''Bitfall'' (2005): a machine which displays words selected from the internet via drops of falling water in precise configuration, each word visible only for a second. A ''bit.fall'' installation was at the London 2012 Olympic Park under the footbridge between the main entrance and stadium, the words generated using water from the

Bit.Flow
Bit.Flow is one project done by Julius Popp between 2004–2008 in Leipzig. Navigating through the modern world is no longer linear: the thread can no longer serve as a model to describe it.

This installation illustrates how each of the individual elements has no significance in itself but acquires it only in terms of the group, within the framework of swarm interaction.Selected exhibitions
