IAEE’s Annual Meeting & Exhibition 2024 in Los Angeles. HOTS Google Googly… Looking around the internet, HOTS saw that Googly eyes have been appearing on sculptures in Bend, Oregon. The AP reports they’ve sparked a viral sensation online and on television. However, not everyone is batting their eyes, with the city posting: “While the googly eyes placed on the various art pieces around town might give you a chuckle, it costs money to remove them with care to not damage the art.” Nobody is sure who’s responsible for the Googly eyes, but HOTS hopes the city and individual can see eye to eye on a good spot for the peepers.
