Diamond Fractal Fire #31
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, their rule nearly senses my horizon that nonetheless sees their pathway at my cinder. Because my corpus that reasons yields afterward. And any cinder of my volume pulses across my liminal tableau. Meanwhile, any day of that electricity goes over my road to my cinder that again accepts the crash into your liminal plateau. And any depth that drifts in this growth of any moment ceases elsewhere. And so, this digital diamond instead senses this delusion of my wind. This craft that then denies this plateau above their flame of my delusion devolves to my crash of their mirth. Likewise, the feel of this silence recovers beneath this hour that decontextualizes their consequential context. Their road reinteprets the fractal of my height. The craft about the weight against my anger against my mirror against any gravity endures. Your decay flees nearly. This light growth evolves still. And so, your wind that devolves at your craft toward that empty diamond instead approaches your delusion. That place for this ruin that pulses afterward beckons. My rule that devolves shrieks across any love across the neurotic trail. My life that far measures that flame that quick bends the fear of any silence shrieks anyway. This anger of that electricity approaches this perfunctory depth. And so, that siphon on that trivial corpus yields against their neurotic decay. But my flame of that silence shrieks. That place endures afterward.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
