Daniela Zimmermann
Daniela holds a double degree in Biology and Media Programming. She has been working as a software developer on a worldwide project of car safety electronics production in the automotive sector for the last five years.
This gives her an excellent background in flexible enterprise applications with C#.NET and webservice technologies. Still aware of her media roots she visited Node08 (a festival of digital arts in Frankfurt) and became enchanted by the possibilities of visual and interactivity programming.
Since then she has been engaged with new media programming languages and projects like vvvv, arduino, openFrameworks and processing. At the end of 2009 she organized an open session with the tagtool which is a tool for live performances of drawing and animation.
Daniela recently convinced her employer in Frankfurt, Germany to let her go on a sabbatical year to Auckland. Now she is looking for a collaboration with an artist on an inspiring project to fill her spare time when she is not improving her surfing or bikepolo skills.
