Or at least, on the surface, it appears that way. The urban artwork sits as a canvas for graffiti, but, with the push of a button, the metallic cubic geometry lifts off of the ground, flips out a seat, and unveils a set of handlebars, transforming into a fully-functional motorcycle. "I wanted to create a piece that is museum-worthy that’s completely unnoticeable and so familiar, you’re just going to walk past it," Ruiter said about the piece <a href="https://jruiter.com/portfolio/nomoto/" target="_blank">on his website</a>. Moreover, Ruiter said that he and his J.RUITER studio is all about "trying to push design to the point of not being there."</p>
