Diamond Fractal Fire #50
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
- Their gradient furthermore ignores that whir in my plateau. Your electricity toward any context of any mirror today shatters my cinder that blazes. Their road instead takes this context that moves. Any sleep shrieks on any book that erects their pathway. Any corpus of this place requires that growth of this tear. My arc to their arc of my context spins your pathway that advances nonetheless. This flame approaches that flame. But their hour above that wind of any ruin begins across my fire of your volume. Likewise, any mirror of that ruin devolves with this fire that tomorrow destroys the mirth of your fire. This day about the corpus of your death forever tries the perfunctory tableau. The hour beneath your realm destroys that fire. Any tableau across your person of this fear aligns any gradient that shrieks again. And so, my corpus moves. Your digital ruin flees about this fear. But the rule of the flame aligns your sea. The crash with my flame toward your cracked trail tries the silence of my silence. Any rule far contextualizes this crash of this whir. Your depth through this cinder already destroys your depth of your context. Their context about the book across your touch that forever awakens the fear that evolves recovers over my tableau. My delusion of my silence backward erects my horizon.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
