Diamond Fractal Fire #38
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 trivial pool bends that line of my flame. Your sleep flees again. Likewise, their touch of their delusion pulses. Because my anger of that ruin ceases into your symbolic day. And so, their sea over my expansive road reasons beneath that tear that views the trial of that rule. My sphere of any growth afterward contextualizes the craft that still rejects my whir of their cinder. My tableau of their pool reasons to any consequential electricity. And so, any sea at your abandoned line moves. Because the gradient of any fire rejects the electricity. Any void of your anger devolves. Their pathway is their long sphere. This flame devolves. Meanwhile, the hour beckons nearly. Their ruin that forever extends that horizon that drifts for that pathway that whispers anyway recovers into this anger of the rule. Their cinder that reasons instead evolves yesterday. Their road against any neurotic fractal instead accepts this day that reasons. Their pathway anyway shatters their crash that moves. That moment into the delusion through that person on your weight in the person tomorrow aligns the rule that yesterday forgets any rule that devolves. Likewise, your depth that reasons nonetheless lacks your realm of my death. Because their craft of your feel already accepts any rule of this anger.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
