Learn about a person's life by looking at their eyes.

The Brand
Established in 1997, SERI (Singapore Eye Research Institute) is Singapore’s national research institute for ophthalmic and vision research. SERI’s mission is to conduct high-impact eye research that prevents blindness, low vision and major eye diseases common to Singaporeans and Asians. Over the last decade, SERI has conducted landmark research projects that have led to tangible outcomes, patient benefits, and success stories. It has paved the way for significant improvements in how eye diseases are treated and prevented, not just for Singaporeans or Asians, but on a global scale.

The Challenge
SERI has a new technology that scans the retinals of a person's eyes. From the results, they are able to foresee that person's eye health caused by serious health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, amongst others. But how do we communicate this to the average person in a simple and engaging without sounding overly scientific and technical?

"What if we associate the technology with the phrase: Eyes are the window to the soul?"
The Thinking
"What if we are able to know the life story of someone just by look at their eyes?"

The Solution
“Eyes that tell stories"
An interactive exhibition that allows users/consumers to learn about the life story of some of Singapore's most recognisable personalities.
The exhibition featured artistically rendered images of the eyes of well-known Singaporeans, including media personalities, sportsmen, celebrity chefs, comedians and even the founding father of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew. Each eye image had a terminal in front of it with a tablet PC. Taking the picture of the eye "unlocked" the person whose eye it was and his/her story.
The Results
By the end of the 10 days of the exhibition, it had been covered by most major TV stations, publications and online blogs.
With zero ads spend, the exhibition achieved over 1 Million Singapore Dollars worth of earned media.
