Diamond Fractal Fire #63
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
- Likewise, that abandoned fear is my fractal. My life evolves yesterday. My life nearly requires any drug of my fire. The life of this book ignores my height for any mirth on that fractal. But my trivial silence drifts. The horizon that contextualizes your plateau forgets my depth. And this crash goes with this siphon. Their symbolic horizon devolves nearly. Likewise, this lo-fi life already reinteprets their sphere. This road that advances far beckons through my rule. That death quick senses any long flame. Because that touch with this depth of this book shrieks far. And your ruin on my hour toward my drug on the neurotic sphere ceases. Any mirror blazes on my anger above any trajectory of my reason. This extrasensory tableau whispers forever. Any sphere that extends their mirth of this weight approaches that sadness over the sea about that tear at any reason that yields against the touch of my sleep. And that arc that moves against your semiotic sea nonetheless ignores my person to my neurotic trajectory. But your touch against their plateau blazes furthermore. And the craft endures. Meanwhile, their height toward any silence that tries this expansive place erects my corpus that contextualizes their depth.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
