About Brittni

Brittni Watkins is an algorithmic artist, software engineer, and educator whose work lives at the intersection of code, creativity, and “What does this button do?”. She has spent more than a decade exploring how to create striking visuals from logic, geometry, and mathematical forms, crafting elegant code that bring them to life.

To make her generative art programs, Brittni starts by defining the rules of an artistic system using computer code, typically JavaScript or TypeScript. Then, she runs the code to produce a visual output that follows those rules. Using pseudorandom number generation, she can create a program that selects a different sequence of random numbers each time it’s executed, resulting in a unique output from each run of one algorithm. No two outputs are ever the same; some variations may be quiet and minimalistic, some may be striking, bold, and busy. Each one adds to the beauty of the code and its outputs as a whole.

For Brittni, love and care go into the code itself just as much as anything it produces. At the heart of her work is a simple philosophy: art, computer science, and education should be available and accessible to all. The applications of code are vast and varied; there is space for everyone.

There is beauty in code, and code can make beautiful things.
