Blink of an Eye is an interactive pop-up window display featuring a giant, googly eye with a short attention span. It debuted at the NYU Skirball Center in New York in November 2016 and later traveled west to join the Twilio BA$H in San Francisco in May 2017.

The concept was simple but cheeky: passersby could text their Instagram handle to the eye, which would blink, flash a rapid-fire reel of their Instagram feed, then blink again, returning to its blank, all-seeing stare. A playful nod to how quickly time slips by — literally in the blink of an eye.

I was responsible for the concept, installation, and development of this project, including scraping Instagram, making socket.io calls, and integrating with Twilio for the text messaging interface.
