Context-Free Wind #151
by Ross Goodwin
Project
Context-Free Wind is a poetry generator and visualizer created by Ross Goodwin (https://rossgoodwin.com) in vanilla JavaScript without the use of any framework or external libraries, excluding code required by fxhash. The generator uses a custom context-free grammar algorithm and word lists assembled by the creator to produce (...admittedly, fairly strange...) sentences.
These sentences are then blown aloft by a procedural "wind" -- based on the algorithm Goodwin first explored in the following Dweet:

ABOUT THE CREATOR
Ross Goodwin is an artist, creative technologist, and former White House ghostwriter. He employs machine learning, natural language processing, and other computational tools to realize new forms and interfaces for written language. From word.camera, a camera that expressively narrates its photographs in real time using artificial neural networks, to SUNSPRING (with Oscar Sharp, starring Thomas Middleditch), the world's first film created from an AI-written screenplay; from making London’s Trafalgar Square lions roar poetry (“Please Feed The Lions” with Es Devlin), to writing a novel with a car (1 the Road), Goodwin’s projects and collaborations have earned international attention. Winner of the 2018 IDFA DocLab Award for Digital Storytelling as well as Columbia University's Digital Dozen Breakthroughs in Storytelling Award for 2019, he earned his undergraduate degree in Economics from MIT in 2009, and his graduate degree from NYU ITP in May 2016.

Traits
- Text
- The tie-dyed darkness indirectly circles the toast of the alley. The flower of that rant blossoms. That questionable bay passes. This eye in this particle through that ignominious thought incomprehensibly kicks the manuscript that gingerly flings that joke. Oh, that mansion over this grave that unconsciously calibrates this feeling that meticulously sustains the feeling of this oblivion prepares gingerly. Accordingly, that escape smoulders indirectly. This bullshit of that meat burns furiously. The bullshit dissects this typewriter that leaps at that collar of this sphinx. This iguana yodels against that bad hair.1 of 254 indexed NFTs · 0%
