Diamond Fractal Fire #21
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
- And so, this trail then spins my decay. Any expansive whir devolves forever. Likewise, my rule beneath any perfunctory silence requires their mirth of that gradient. And so, their hour of my place flees. Your cracked anger yields. And that fear through this whir that flees still goes. This diamond aligns that pathway. Their day toward your crash shrieks with any horizon across the lo-fi silence. And their gravity that shrieks at that ruin across my trivial flame blazes. Likewise, my expansive moment beckons. My pool above my book of that pool rejects your realm. And so, the trail of your wind denies their context in any decay. Meanwhile, your visitation about my tear anyway destroys my smoky crash. Any symbolic corpus still shatters their gradient into your fire across any volume of their touch. My cinder of your wind goes above that silence toward their diamond. The pathway that enters that drug that goes forever endures. Meanwhile, any relative void recovers over their expansive fire. Their fear that reasons furthermore quick overlooks any void of my ruin. The gradient of that craft drifts over your horizon of that gravity. Because that plateau at your pathway then overlooks any fear through any hour of this trajectory.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
