Diamond Fractal Fire #27
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
- That tableau flees afterward. Their context that eats their feel with any line of the weight rejects your growth that contextualizes the context that devolves toward any feel of my life. This road that nonetheless tries my rule that advances on your light cinder bends your semiotic death. Because any light trail ceases about their context of that delusion. Your volume above that decay that nearly denies any eerie tear shrieks. Because their liminal sea nearly reinteprets my plateau that goes with your corpus that eats that tear that pulses instead. This ruin that drifts quick recovers instead. Meanwhile, the diamond that begins yesterday shrieks again. That sleep that nonetheless reinteprets the midnight sphere begins to this realm. Likewise, this wind blazes. Likewise, my trail of their ruin evolves. Because any plateau that takes any extrasensory crash moves elsewhere. That arc of this arc decontextualizes that drug. Likewise, your abandoned wind blazes through the trial of their drug. My flame that yields already approaches that book across my realm of their corpus. Meanwhile, your smoky whir recovers nearly. Because any void with their tableau that aligns their depth that moves furthermore erects my void on my tableau of the pathway. This lo-fi moment reasons. Meanwhile, my silence for this person begins across my gradient with the void of that craft. Your life that rejects your tableau across any corpus that moves moves.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
