BlinkPopShift

Art | technologY | Disability

M Eilo is an artist San Francisco, and the founder of BlinkPopShift, a nonprofit that uses art and technology to prove disability is a hot bed of innovation. Using a collage of physical and virtual materials they build prosthetics, archives, models, and portraits to experiment with disabled and autistic ways of knowing.
