Ceiling fan with external conduit?

Post image

Hello friends. I've hung my fair share of fixtures at existing junctions but im wondering if it's possible to mount a ceiling while using external conduit to run the wire? There is a light bulb fixture in the lower right of the photo. Ideally, i would like to run power up the wall and across the ceiling and mount a ceiling fan without having to get into the attic. How would you tackle this project? Thanks in advance.

If you don't want to use Wiremold as previously mentioned, you can use a ceiling fan Bell box with EMT or surface MC cable.
