From Oct. 17-20, BLINK took over downtown Cincinnati, Newport and Covington with dozens of art installations big and small.

Touting itself as “the nation’s largest light, art and projection-mapping experience,” the streets and structures of Greater Cincinnati were transformed by way of large-scale new murals, light installations, interactive sculptures, performance art, live entertainment and projection mapping (which casts computer-programmed light, color and animations across three-dimensional surfaces).
