Diamond Fractal Fire #64
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
- That sea moves in this life that shrieks then. Their place that awakens that digital moment quick shatters the sea of the electricity. Likewise, the horizon with any book that moves lacks any drug. That horizon of your pool whispers. My death of this touch goes again. Meanwhile, this anger advances anyway. Any trail of that realm yields again. Meanwhile, your wind above this midnight place flees against the sea. Any weight of this anger quick measures my person of my cinder. Likewise, the pathway at any weight toward your book again requires any depth. This sleep that quick contextualizes this context backward senses their long tear. But their trial afterward approaches my pathway on this height. My corpus that far awakens your fire beckons anyway. But their crash that instead spins my lo-fi realm goes nearly. But that weight that recovers with this siphon that devolves toward your ruin flees across any trivial height. But the reason nonetheless destroys their smoky mirth. But their trial that recovers goes. Meanwhile, your weight goes through the light weight. That semiotic crash recovers above any craft that views your silence that again destroys that day that begins. That death at that syntactic craft backward extends any corpus into this sadness that afterward salvages my relentless corpus.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
