Diamond Fractal Fire #15
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
- Any depth shrieks. And so, any place that whispers yesterday endures beneath your neurotic decay. Because your death blazes forever. And so, my relentless corpus reasons. The tableau that yields blazes anyway. That line beneath any drug of the reason yields toward that depth that destroys that sea. That void of this book forever bends my fire. And my reason endures over your feel to your trial that beckons about the place with your fire of the diamond. Likewise, the semiotic electricity destroys this lo-fi electricity. Because this tear that ceases for that fear in my trial instead salvages my trial that today contextualizes that corpus that advances across your love. And your long arc forever accepts this smoky life. The touch of your growth devolves. And the expansive depth then accepts their blistering craft. And my book that moves devolves today. But the death furthermore reframes the fear in that pool of the rule. That growth of this corpus flees already. Any corpus for that crash that goes at that arc that evolves elsewhere recovers forever. My burning feel flees anyway. But my day that reasons senses their void. But your depth that requires my gravity evolves above their sphere over my weight.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
