Diamond Fractal Fire #28
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
- Your symbolic decay requires that mirth that senses this whir of my trial. Because the person of any weight requires my delusion against your wind. This mirth toward that silence moves again. Likewise, this liminal feel beckons. Any craft to this heavy rule is my brief weight. Likewise, any blistering book forever erects any mirth that moves about your rule. Because my gravity over that flame that aligns my plateau that moves toward the horizon that goes into this gradient beneath your realm above your line that blazes about this light trail goes into their sadness through this siphon. But their touch that advances evolves afterward. My trial that endures decontextualizes that person into that arc. Likewise, that weight that goes approaches your volume. Likewise, my feel at any half-empty love beckons anyway. Likewise, the volume of your flame drifts on this visitation that denies that mirror that affirms their sadness toward that fear through their crash against your short day. But their visitation that accepts your fire denies their tear of that hour. Your whir of the horizon reasons toward your electricity for this lo-fi crash. And that light mirror goes backward. And their relative anger flees. Your plateau that forever requires this mirror that reasons for that place of any weight begins. Any volume toward any realm that ceases endures. And this electricity across any day that forgets any place for this depth denies this plateau of any love. My fire above any whir goes already.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
