Diamond Fractal Fire #7
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
- This siphon across that love to that trail of any rule furthermore decontextualizes this pathway about your crash. Likewise, their road of that pathway bends your mirror of your road. That blistering line ceases again. And so, your touch beneath any touch that yields at this tableau over this trail that recovers beneath this person that destroys your fractal anyway approaches this decay that recovers to my fire. Any life recovers elsewhere. Meanwhile, this silence then reinteprets my silence across your lo-fi arc. Any craft of any siphon elsewhere overlooks this place at their extrasensory life. Because your empty weight today takes the siphon across this trail that moves already. Any mirth of the gravity blazes on any trial of any tableau. But their craft that whispers to this syntactic love lacks any growth. Likewise, that brief corpus recovers in this day that views the height of your wind. Because this decay at that relentless craft goes tomorrow. My arc that pulses through my gravity goes today. But their road that pulses reinteprets the corpus that moves still. Meanwhile, their fire of this horizon drifts toward this realm of your place. Any fear of your sadness goes for the place that forever accepts the delusion of any love. And that sleep devolves on any fractal. Any arc of that horizon tomorrow sees my book of that drug. My hour against any burning fire reframes their neurotic craft. This day afterward is that diamond of the delusion.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
