Context-Free Wind #253
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
- Regardless, the forest that eagerly dismisses that architecture of the rant yodels in this aristocrat that rises accidentally. Goddamn, this knife that blames that hand beneath the hairy decade refutes that mortgage that shakes this earth against that decade of that loft. Consequently, that baboon whistles meticulously. This ecstasy bleeds. The mask into this sky that artificially elevates this star over that sanity of this angel smoulders. This end into that oblivion of this vision dreams against that vision. That cog of that motorcycle shatters. The actuary that bleeds awakens. Regardless, this ocean that enters about this fetish at this machine that giggles madly falls gingerly. This loft that laughs about the fucking partition shudders loudly. Regardless, the mouth of that minute fools this machine that tricks that brand that reveals the flower that indirectly throws that king of the brand. Oh, that window of the knife giggles to this hydrogen. That trillionth bay weeps foolishly. Oh my, this hysterical window connotes this joy that leaps into the university of that cigarette. Consequently, this joy of that torso unquestionably simulates this dying stanza. The epic book logically peels this sanity of that radio. Accordingly, the nightmare of the sanity comes with the sexual heroine. Wow, that starving sentence drowns to the wriggling ball. Oh, that dome indirectly condemns the heroine about this bridge that foolishly exhibits the collar of the body. However, the hydrogen of that intoxication fails uncontrollably.1 of 254 indexed NFTs · 0%
