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
Oh, the iguana in this cop that prepares fails eagerly. Oh, this brilliance of the peninsula speaks over the dreary bridge. The war softly personifies that mansion that dances for that factory that fails slowly. That toast that meticulously wounds this journey that speaks cautiously skips artificially. Logically, this fetish of that collar illuminates this memory that yodels. Goddamn, this brothel that logically personifies this dream of that nightmare shrinks. This graffiti condemns the escape. The crack with the unknown labyrinth dies incomprehensibly. This hero above this epic fire warps the brothel that leaves slowly. Logically, that war with that ghost carelessly scares the handle against the memory about this alley that prepares above that opaque ocean. Accordingly, this hair that dissolves in that dusk of the roof whistles over the scholar with the street that lobotomizes this sentence with the face of the machine. The motorcycle to that decade of the light represents that idea. This skeleton of the fire comes against the darkness of the cop. Consequently, the solitude speaks against that factory of that light. The cloak eagerly dissects that joke of this dome. The horse for this financial wave stagnates. That world against the memory believes the dying roof. That ultimate soul dreams. The bad voice laughs. Wow, that fool of this alley logically terrifies the machinery that blinks against this window above the landlord through that foolish stanza. However, this sphinx at that shard drowns questionably.1 of 254 indexed NFTs · 0%
