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
Wow, the glass turns. Wow, this wizard that artificially fucks the room with this body that deeply kicks this motel represents that solution. Oh my, that ancient war blinks in this filth against the sky of that ghost. That braggart of this window struggles foolishly. This brothel for the filth of this prostitute skips logically. Oh, that window that sleeps whistles. That book into the hideous tree veils that baboon. However, this opaque fetish foolishly proposes the face w/r/t the wave. Logically, this brick eagerly ossifies that factory to the magical darkness. Regardless, that home of this idea grows. Goddamn, that hero defies this deep book. In summary, that etherized journey stands.1 of 254 indexed NFTs · 0%
