The Art of Googly Eyebombing

June 12, 2017 By Linda K Sienkiewicz

Street art:

Eyebombing is “Humanizing the world, one googly eye at a time.” It’s the art of sticking googly eyes onto an inanimate object in a public setting in a way that creates the appearance of a living creature.

A boost in popularity took place when two Danish eyebombers revitalized this apparently lost form of street art. They say:

What makes Eyebombing different from traditional types of street art like tagging, sticking, and stencils is the purpose. The above forms are largely driven by egocentric behaviour, like getting seen, respect and maybe a hope to get famous, often using vandalism as modus operandi.

[Eyebombing] is not a fight for the public space, it’s to be seen as a lovely addition to that space. An addition that hopefully brings a smile, and brightens someone’s day.

Feel Good

Warning:

Please don’t deface monuments, library books or personal property. It’s not cool, and it may be considered a crime.

    I love it so much! My sister and I are setting off on our journey across the country tomorrow, so I’ll keep an eye out for opportunities to advance this art form!
