In March 2018, digital artist and entrepreneur EEPMON joined a distinguished panel at the Canada Science and Technology Museum to discuss the vital integration of the Arts into traditional STEM fields, advocating for a holistic STEAM framework.

As part of the dialogue exploring how artistic creativity fuels scientific innovation, EEPMON highlighted his landmark permanent art installation at the museum, Yours to Discover, as a definitive case study. Spanning 100 feet, the massive digital mural bridges the analogue and digital worlds, blending heritage with future innovation through vector tools and advanced 3D fabrication. During the panel, he demonstrated how art serves as an essential vehicle for breaking down complex scientific narratives and driving social impact, using the design and research behind the mural to show how creative thinking elevates technical storytelling.

I was interviewed in Applied Arts Magazine where I talk about the STEAM (Science + Technology + Engineering + Arts + Math) approach on my 100-foot mural collaboration, “YOURS TO DISCOVER” for the Canada Science & Technology Museum.

On November 17, 2017, the Canada Science and Technology Museum unveiled YOURS TO DISCOVER, a permanent 100 x 17-foot art installation by EEPMON, created in collaboration with Tanya Woods of the social impact initiative, Kind Village. The mural serves as a visual narrative exploring the intersections of innovation, ingenuity, and curiosity to advance science, technology, and social impact.

The mural and the accompanying Yours to Discover – Online Experience provide a visual narrative exploring the intersections of human innovation and ingenuity. The project highlights the drive to advance science, technology, and social impact across the past, present, and future.

This installation connects the analogue with the digital and heritage with the future. The production process itself mirrors this innovation: designed digitally using vector tools, the piece was etched onto a tactile acrylic surface using 3D printing techniques—a nod to the evolution of artistic craftsmanship.

The collaborators aim to inspire individuals to use the museum’s space to spark their own artistic and social innovation projects. By embodying the ‘see, feel, think, do’ experience, the project demonstrates the power of art as a vehicle for social impact.

The mural’s flow integrates with the museum’s unique ceiling design, leading viewers on a journey led by eepMonkey and Banana Bird. Its massive scale creates a timeline of Canada’s innovation story, reflecting a vision of human spirit and ingenuity through a lens of vibrant optimism.
