Daniel Shiffman Explained
Daniel Shiffman (born July 29, 1973) is a computer programmer, a member of the Board of Directors of the Processing Foundation,[1] and an Associate Arts Professor at the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at New York University Tisch School of the Arts.[2] Shiffman received a BA in Mathematics and Philosophy from Yale University and a master's degree from the ITP.[3]
Early research
His early artworks Swarm #1 (2002), Swarm #2 (2002), and Swarm #3 (2004) explored algorithms to create patterns of virtual flocking birds based on Craig Reynolds’s Boids model as real-time digital brush strokes generated from live video input, producing an organic painterly effect in real time.[4] Prior to his interests in open source and visual art, Shiffman was the producing director at P73 Productions Inc.,[5] a small New York theater company he started with some friends from Yale.[6]
Current work
Daniel Shiffman is currently focused on developing tutorials, examples, and libraries for Processing, the open source programming environment created by Casey Reas and Ben Fry.Shiffman runs a popular YouTube channel, The Coding Train, with instructional videos on how to program in Processing and p5.js, an open-source JavaScript library with a similar API to that of Processing.[7] He has also taught an adaptation of his The Nature of Code book through Kadenze using p5.js.[8]
