Bit.fall Installation
Julius Popp’s Bitfall reproduces the ‘flood’ of media information in the form of a real waterfall. Through the use of a motion tracking device, a computer program determines the direction of the flow of the pixels within the tube and imposes an order.
The installation Bit.Fall pumped through a 45 metre long tube that is laid out in a random pattern, text and graphics randomly selected from the internet appear in the liquid, creating a DIYplasma screen. Watching video

Isn't there a direct link to this? Why are we being redirected back to your own blog to see the content?
No direct link. Content maybe on YouTube but in bad quality.
there was a story about this a few years ago in Interactive Architecture, but the information might be dated by now..
Brilliant, I think Jeep had a similar waterfall thing at an auto show last year.
The fact that this one displays random online imagery is even better, though.
Popp did it before Jeep. Bitfall was exhibited at the Saatchi gallery in London in 2005. The technology is now commercially available under the name AquaScript.
Saw it in action at an autoshow (Amsterdam) last year at the stand of Jeep. Really cool effect!
jeep started this back in 2000.

I just authored a post on my blog about Julius Popp. There is also historical data on the post regarding the developer of the graphical waterfall technology, Stephen Pevnick, a professor of computer art at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. Apparently this technology was in development in 1973 (the year of Julius Popp'd birth) by Pevnick. www "dot" lynndunham "dot" blogspot "dot" com.
