Nychos’ distinctive style draws inspiration from his background
growing up in a hunting family in Austria, coupled with his
childhood interests in cartoons and heavy metal music. His
reimagined anatomical dissections and cross sections have defined
his work as an urban artist and his Rabbit Eye Movement – a
movement Nychos started to nourish urban art.
“Through my art movement, I try to encourage urban art and those
behind it,” Nychos said. “By collaborating with Ultimate Ears, it’s
awesome to bring street art to a speaker that then brings music and
ultimately creative inspiration to the world.”
Leading the way in customization since 2013, UE has been one of
the only brands to bring art onto its products by working with
stand-out artists, giving them an opportunity to use the acoustic
skin as their canvas. Through such collaborations, Ultimate Ears
celebrates mixing art and music by bringing them together, out in
the world.
“Nychos is always finding ways to stay fresh and wild in his
art; he doesn’t keep his art on a wall in a room; he takes it to
the streets and shares it with people,” said Rory Dooley, general
manager of Ultimate Ears. “We want people to do the same with their
music by being bold and taking music everywhere. We’re thrilled to
work with an artist who has the same vision.”

A limited number of Rabbit Eye Movement Edition UE BOOM 2
speakers are expected to be available in North America and select

About Nychos
The founder of Rabbit Eye Movement (REM), Nikolaus Nychos is an
urban art and graffiti illustrator based in Vienna, Austria.
Growing up in a hunting family and confronted with anatomy at a
young age, coupled with his interest in cartoons and heavy metal,
Nychos’ bold and distinctive style and use of cross sections of
human and animal anatomies stand out. Originating as a street art
concept in 2005, Nychos’ Rabbit Eye Movement has evolved into an
homage to all the “Rabbits” active in the Urban Art Movement,
independent of what kind of mission they are following. You can see
