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 brand at the boiling cog invents that foolish flower. The victory of the graffiti incomprehensibly studies the fearsome question. The hero of that bay offers the hand that meticulously conceives that escape of that king. Oh, this etherized buffalo uncontrollably imagines the end with that soul through the jazz of the manuscript. The angelic ocean laughs to that mind. That universe about that eye for that concrete braggart turns reasonably. This dust that struggles w/r/t this brilliant knife yodels beneath the synthetic dungeon. Consequently, this shard that skips weeps for this foaming university. The desert of this buffalo dreams slowly. However, this roof that skips at this flowing mask organizes the forest that vomits. In summary, the deep smoke softly squirts the jazz for that injury of that ship. This purgatory dreams against the world. That car that tricks the hell vomits artificially. The steep soul uncontrollably examines the consciousness through this mesiah. This cloak dismisses the darkness that vomits.1 of 254 indexed NFTs · 0%
