“To me, art is an ideological thing. Maybe we can’t precisely capture and describe what art even is. It is broad and greater than its definition. Every action we perform is a part of art. The ways of seeing it is greatly influenced by the social surroundings.” — Shin KwangHo
Currently raising funds through an Indiegogo campaign, Unseen Art aims to develop a software platform that will bring visual art into the 3-D world. And best of all, they’re going to make sure it gets in the hands of those who want it.

“You can know what happened in my life, in my century, from my work. The ‘how’ is just as important as the ‘what’, and it’s the combination of the ‘how’ and the ‘what’ that make art. That’s really what I’ve been after all my life.”

Rabbit Eye Movement originally started as a street art concept, created by the urban/graffiti artist and illustrator Nychos in 2005. It fueled and defined the artwork Nychos spread on the streets for the next seven years, and in 2012 he acquired a home for REM to live. Located in the heart of Vienna, the Rabbit Eye Movement Art Space is now a full time gallery and agency dedicated to pushing the same movement that created it.
“I created the ‘Rabbit Eye Movement’ as an homage to all the “Rabbits” out there who are active in the Urban Art Movement. It doesn’t matter what kind of mission they are following.”
– NYCHOS
