Eric Chan, also known as EEPMON, is a Canadian digital and generative artist and entrepreneur whose work bridges diplomacy, creative innovation, and cultural memory. With over two decades of experience, he integrates code, data, and traditional media to explore the intersection of technology and human experience, collaborating with institutions such as the Canadian Museum of History and global brands such as Marvel Entertainment and Canada Goose. As Library and Archives Canada’s inaugural Creator in Residence, he continues to push the boundaries of how digital media documents collective history.
His practice is deeply rooted in international engagement and state-level representation. EEPMON represented Canada at Expo 2025 Osaka, Japan, was featured in National Geographic Japan, and contributed his expertise to minister-led Team Canada trade missions to China and Japan. Beyond the studio, his influence extends into the policy sphere, where he testified before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage regarding the effects of artificial intelligence on the creative industries. He also serves as the National Ambassador for the Royal Canadian Navy’s Navy Bike Ride, blending his artistry with public service.
EEPMON’s landmark solo exhibition Digital Worlds—held at the Prince Takamado Gallery of the Embassy of Canada to Japan in Tokyo and curated by Rebecca Basciano of the Ottawa Art Gallery—exemplifies his ability to bridge high-level cultural diplomacy and digital innovation.
