Darien Brito, an Ecuadorian audiovisual artist and creative coder based in The Hague, Netherlands, is renowned for his innovative integration of generative audio, real-time computer graphics, and light in live performances and interactive installations. His academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts in composition from the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague and a Master of Arts from the Institute of Sonology. Brito's work has been showcased at esteemed venues and festivals such as Sonica, Mutek.AE, and the Zentrum für Kunst und Medien (ZKM) in Karlsruhe.

In August 2021, Brito released Pigments, a generative art series comprising 1,024 unique, animated artworks, as part of Art Blocks' Curated Collection. Each piece in the series serves as an exploration of color and spatial distortion, aiming to evoke impressions ranging from microscopic substances to vast nebular formations. The artworks are designed to run indefinitely, offering an ever-evolving visual experience. To fully appreciate the dynamic nature of these pieces, a capable GPU is recommended; however, viewers can opt for a static display by pressing the spacebar during the animation. ​

Brito's approach in Pigments involves manipulating the digital canvas through techniques like domain warping and fractional Brownian motion, resulting in intricate patterns and textures that resemble natural phenomena. The series features 13 distinct layouts, each with its own aesthetic and structural characteristics, and employs 109 carefully curated color palettes.

Through Pigments, Darien Brito invites viewers into a contemplative space where algorithmic precision meets organic fluidity, challenging perceptions of digital art and highlighting the boundless possibilities inherent in generative design.
