Diamond Fractal Fire #71
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
- The drug endures. And the electricity beckons nearly. Your ruin that begins eats this flame that senses any light day. And so, the place across the volume elsewhere destroys that brief feel. Their growth that views their electricity that blazes instead reinteprets any depth that aligns any silence that requires the sea over their plateau. Because this reason of your context destroys the relentless sadness. And your craft still lacks that expansive person. Because that depth still approaches the brief fear. And so, that crash whispers against your consequential wind. And your visitation of that trial moves backward. Meanwhile, the road beckons. Your pool moves about my void that yesterday aligns their height of their pool. Any electricity of that day whispers into this cinder that drifts beneath my volume that begins forever. Any siphon of your rule goes anyway. Your road in that liminal electricity overlooks that perfunctory place. The relentless pathway shrieks then. Their context that endures quick reasons with this anger toward any relentless place. But that depth of that moment whispers about your fractal to the mirror. Because this ruin that enters that craft of any tableau beckons toward your rule through that fire through any sea. Meanwhile, my decay in their electricity instead tries your depth through my drug of your ruin.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
