Diamond Fractal Fire #3
by Ross Goodwin
Project
Diamond Fractal Fire interposes recursively generated poetry with similarly recursive fractal imagery. Each text (unique for each mint, but always 20 sentences in length) is generated by a custom context-free grammar algorithm, fed with lists of words selected by the creator. The fractal pattern in each edition is a variation on a Koch snowflake fractal, one of the earliest fractals described by mathematicians. These fractals grow over time at varying rates, and pulse with varying color ranges using Perlin noise, eventually filling the screen.
Push h to save high resolution PNG and JPG images of the complete fractal pattern (takes a moment to process)
Push s to save PNG and JPG images of the current browser view (with current browser window dimensions and resolution)
Push v to begin recording canvas as a video (with current browser window dimensions), then push v again to save the video
Push f to toggle fullscreen mode
Push p to toggle zoom pause
Push r to toggle zoom reverse
Push c to toggle color shift pause
Push l to toggle low resolution mode (improves framerate)
The animation is somewhat computationally expensive, and so it runs best on contemporary laptop and desktop computers. Mobile devices and older computers may experience low frame rates. Captured video quality may vary depending on compute and browser limitations. The animation is responsive (it will adapt to any screen or window size), and resizing your browser window also will restart the animation.
Color floors and variances represent ranges for Hue using a Hue/Saturation/Brightness (HSB) color model. Velocities represent (subtle) zoom speed differences. Noise increment and start values affect the rate and variation of color shifts.
In addition to the author's code, Diamond Fractal Fire relies on the p5.js library.
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 sleep advances. But my fire against any sadness of my arc blazes. Likewise, my syntactic whir afterward awakens my place of any tear. This volume of that anger awakens this drug. My gradient of any person aligns this flame of their drug. Because my flame of that realm elsewhere spins the realm that denies the light cinder. My eerie void recovers yesterday. Meanwhile, this consequential decay takes their life on my crash above any light delusion. The moment above this book at any mirth that endures devolves today. My book that begins nonetheless reasons. My plateau into my sea over any height on my decay through this fractal that elsewhere affirms that gradient at my diamond that endures through the line that nearly aligns that wind goes in that context of my pool. And any fire toward this lo-fi sadness reinteprets that feel of any mirth. Likewise, the fractal sees the expansive corpus. The weight for my siphon devolves beneath that volume. Likewise, their place above this smoky crash endures instead. And any wind that endures reframes any sea. And so, that flame of my sadness whispers. This moment of any diamond beckons afterward. Likewise, any volume flees into any visitation for that weight of their rule. And so, any wind toward your fractal of this fear backward enters your love that pulses about that relative plateau.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
