Art/Literary - Journalism / Article about a painter
Spanish term or phrase: golpe de vista
Context:

Acompáñeme unos minutos, estimado lector. No puedo prometerle que vaya a escribir algo que jamás se haya dicho. Pero sí que voy a escribir sinceramente, lo cual ya es mucho para estos tiempos. Vivimos inmersos en un mundo de imágenes. Vaya noticia. Sin embargo, por más que se repita esto hasta el hartazgo, nunca antes había sido tan cierto, tan desmesuradamente cierto. Nuestros cuerpos están dispuestos, por así decirlo, en el centro de miríadas de círculos concéntricos: acechados por las más diversas solicitaciones. * A cada golpe de vista *, una invitación a ver y a ser vistos. Pantallas de iphones, tablets y teléfonos celulares, ordenadores, televisores, cajeros automáticos, anuncios publicitarios, etiquetas de productos, propaganda política, señalética del tránsito, carteles luminosos y de los otros, de los impresos y de los pintados.

TIA!

Everywhere you look...
Explanation:
...there is an invitation to see and be seen.
I would translate "golpe de vista" as "glance" but in the context it would not convey the right meaning.

'at each and every glance' is a stronger translation

Explanation:
Una proposición, si bien analizando una forma de aprender a leer rápido, quizás se acerque al contexto dado.

Importancia del número de fijaciones para la velocidad de la lectura
El buen lector hará menos fijaciones por línea: su campo visual será más amplio (abarcará más palabras con cada golpe de vista) y, a la par, sus detenciones serán más breves, ya que desentrañará con mayor ligereza el sentido de las palabras y las frases.

En cualquier lugar, puedes mover tu atención intencionalmente dando golpes de vista ocupando una fracción de segundo cada vez. La imagen retinal de cada vistazo dura apenas un segundo pero sirve al propósito del ejercicio.
