Eric Forman在美术、设计、建筑和技术之间的交叉领域工作。Forman开发自己的交互式软件，用于创造动态响应观众和其他物理现象的物体和空间。近20年来，他的作品一直利用愉快的互动来揭示语言、模拟和感知方面的问题。在所有这些背后是对人类和技术共同演化的不确定现状的探究：自然与人工、真实与模拟、人与机器的重叠。

Forman的作品创造了一种在主流新科技媒体中不经常找到的互动方式：微妙、缓慢、令人惊讶。有时令人愉悦，有时令人不安，他的作品玩弄着我们对新技术的不安定迷恋，却并不愤世嫉俗地否认其神奇的特质。在这些作品中的技术复杂性有时会被透明地展现出来，本身值得反思，而有时则被隐藏起来，以便专注于感知本身的性质。Forman创作的艺术品是用来体验的，而不仅仅是看到的，赋予了工艺和工程以神秘、难度和美感。

个人简介
Eric Forman是一位驻布鲁克林的艺术家和设计师，他在美术、设计、建筑和新技术之间的交叉领域工作了近20年。Eric在20世纪80年代就开始学习编程，并于20世纪90年代中期成为开创性的在线媒体机构Pseudo Programs的早期成员。

Eric Forman工作室成立于2003年，并于2012年受邀成为布鲁克林海军码头的下一代创新空间Newlab的创始成员之一。Eric还是BioArt New York的联合创始人，该集体将艺术家和生物学家配对进行不寻常的合作。他的工作室设计实践专门为各种客户提供最新的互动体验和制造技术。

Eric于2002年从纽约大学Tisch艺术学院的ITP获得硕士学位，于1995年从瓦萨学院获得学士学位，他在那里开发了自己的跨学科项目，名为“计算机技术的哲学影响”。他在那里的论文是关于虚拟现实及其对空间、本体论和身份的潜在影响的开创性学术调查。

Eric目前是SVA（视觉艺术学院）MFA互动设计项目的教职工和创新主管。他曾在RISD（罗德岛设计学院）数字+媒体MFA系、哥伦比亚大学研究生建筑学院、帕森斯设计学院、普拉特学院互动艺术MFA系、MICA（马里兰艺术学院）跨学科雕塑系等多所学校任教。他还喜欢骑自行车。

Eric Forman works in the intersections between fine art, design, architecture, and technology. Forman develops his own interactive software to create objects and spaces that dynamically respond to viewers and other physical phenomena. For nearly twenty years, his work has used playful interaction to reveal issues of language, simulation, and perception.  Underneath all is an investigation of the uncertain present of human and technological co-evolution: the overlappings of natural and artificial, real and simulated, person and machine.

Forman’s work creates modes of interaction not often found in dominant forms of new tech media: subtle, slow, surprising. Sometimes delightful, sometimes unsettling, his work plays on our uneasy fascination with new technology, yet does not cynically deny us its magical qualities.  The technical complexity in this work is sometimes transparently revealed as itself worthy of reflection, while at other times it is hidden to focus on the nature of perception itself. Forman creates art to be experienced, not just seen, imbuing craftsmanship and engineering with mystery, difficulty, and beauty.

Bio
Eric Forman is a Brooklyn-based artist and designer working for nearly twenty years at the intersections between art, design, architecture, and new technology. Eric started programming as a child in the 1980s and was an early member of the groundbreaking online media entity Pseudo Programs in the mid 1990s.

Eric Forman Studio was founded in 2003, and in 2012 was invited to be a founding member of Newlab, a next generation innovation space in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.  Eric is also the co-founder of BioArt New York, a collective pairing artists and biologists for unusual collaborations. His studio’s design practice specializes in the latest interactive experiences and fabrication techniques for diverse clients.

Eric received his Masters in 2002 from ITP at Tisch School of the Arts (NYU), and his B.A. from Vassar College in 1995 where he developed his own interdisciplinary program called “The Philosophical Ramifications of Computer Technology.” His thesis work there was a pioneering academic investigation of virtual reality and its potential impact on space, ontology, and identity.

Eric is currently faculty and Head of Innovation at the MFA Interaction Design program at SVA (School of Visual Arts). He has previously taught at the Digital+Media MFA department at RISD (Rhode Island School of Design), the Graduate School of Architecture at Columbia University, Parsons The New School for Design, the Interactive Arts MFA department at Pratt Institute, the Interdisciplinary Sculpture department of MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art), and many others. He also likes to ride a bike.
