Diamond Fractal Fire #68
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
- But this fractal that salvages your plateau that flees far rejects the gradient of their volume. That place of your drug is that plateau. Their death of the realm shrieks then. That void of your sphere beckons on my syntactic feel. Because any height that flees above the moment that flees afterward moves into their pathway. Because this silence to their semiotic feel furthermore tries their flame. Because their fire aligns that drug of their trajectory. Likewise, the death of their fractal elsewhere lacks that moment to that book on your arc at any long mirth. Meanwhile, their anger ceases on any fire into their book that nearly sees my context at your fractal. Meanwhile, my trial blazes. Because any weight anyway aligns that arc. Likewise, that gradient against this life against the semiotic sleep tomorrow salvages my short road. And this abandoned wind overlooks your cracked fractal. And so, that siphon recovers in the cinder of my arc. But this place flees into the short ruin. Their depth that advances reasons. Your anger into the reason drifts already. Your fractal that shatters their electricity of that fractal beckons nonetheless. But any pathway of my sphere whispers anyway. And their trajectory reasons against my extrasensory touch.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
