Bhaboo’s Looking Outwards – Week 8

In our assignment this week, I really enjoyed looking at different people that have attended the Eyeo Festival. I’ve never seen such amazing people that have revolutionized technology, interactive art, and media in one place. Although this was a longer blog than usual, it was fun to learn about so many new topics. For this blog, I chose to learn more about Daniel Shiffman. He started up a YouTube channel that’s called “The Coding Train.” This channel actually is focused on p5.js which is why I chose to look into Daniel Shiffman more. He works with NYU and their Tisch School of Arts which makes sense because his goal is to share code with the world. After looking into this, I noticed he also has a Discord Channel, social media accounts, and a very large following. It’s so cool how Daniel Shiffman is spreading p5.js so well throughout the world. I admire the fact that he’s really doing such a good job of sharing this form of art/code in a fun way. Cool projects, fun colors, and lovely entertainment are paving the way for p5.js to be taught to the world.
