艾瑞克·陈 ERIC Chan丨用编程作画 Drawing Through Computer Programming
The Metal Ox – Mother
金属牛—母亲
Born in 1980 in Ottawa, Canada, ERIC Chan now works and lives in New York as a digital artist. ERIC Chan is better known as EEPMON.
艾瑞克·陈出生于1980年的加拿大渥太华，现在工作与生活在纽约，是一名数字艺术家。艾瑞克·陈还有一个更为人熟知的名字——EEPMON。
The word "EEPMON" is a variant of "APEMAN." ERIC Chan states monkeys were his spirit animals. Not only was he born under the monkey zodiac in 1980, but it also represented his personality: playful, intelligent, fond of exploration and adventure, always breaking the rules, and entering a new life.
EEPMON这个词是猿人（APEMAN）的变体，艾瑞克·陈说猴子就是他的精神动物。不仅仅是因为1980年出生的他生肖属猴，也是因为猴子代表了他的性格：顽皮、聪明、喜欢探索与冒险，永远打破规则并进入新的生活。

ERIC Chan has been drawing since he was four years old and has a strong sense of color. But what really made him famous in the art world was his ability to creatively blend fine art and computer programming into new art forms. In part, this is because he graduated from Algonquin College in Canada with a degree in interactive multimedia design.
艾瑞克·陈从四岁就开始画画，并且对颜色有很强的感知能力。但真正让他在艺术界闻名的，是他能够创造性地将美术与计算机编程融合成新的艺术形式。某种程度上，这得益于他毕业于加拿大阿冈昆学院互动多媒体设计专业。
False Altars & Make Believe
虚假的圣坛与信仰
Gifted in drawing as a child, he studied computer programming as an adult at Algonquin College, which allowed him to revolutionize the combination of fine arts and digital design. At Ottawa's art Gallery, for example, he used Google's real-time algorithms for the weather to create ever-changing artworks.
从小就具有绘画天赋的他，成年后在阿冈昆学院学习了计算机编程，这使得他可以将美术与数字设计进行革命性的结合。举个例子，在渥太华的美术馆，他曾经利用谷歌天气的实时算法来创作不断变化的艺术品。
“The computer side of things re-wired me,” he said. “Now, when I sketch things out I’m also thinking programmatically, and when I am programming I am also thinking visually.” For ERIC Chan, the computer is his canvas, and programming is the act of painting. He is an artist of his time– a true digital artist.
他说，“电脑方面的事情让我振奋。现在，当我画出草图时，我也在以编程的方式思考。当我编程时，我也在以视觉的方式思考。” 对于艾瑞克·陈来说，计算机是他的画布，编程即是绘画。他是属于这个时代的艺术创作者——一名真正的数字艺时代术家。
