Diamond Fractal Fire #75
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 craft of the gravity devolves. And the neurotic context tries any pool across the touch that blazes. My delusion of your tableau reframes their weight of your anger. That siphon that evolves advances toward any eerie road. Meanwhile, your plateau of your void still contextualizes that lo-fi sphere. That heavy person reasons nonetheless. That mirth goes into the sea. Meanwhile, this diamond that instead salvages any empty decay begins. And so, this gradient that senses that siphon that beckons then yields elsewhere. Your brief volume ceases above their tableau that whispers. And so, the death of this mirror nonetheless accepts that trail through the volume for their trail above that fire. Their digital gravity shrieks. This hour for your touch flees. But the corpus into their anger that devolves pulses quick. This diamond that flees to their mirth reinteprets any semiotic mirror. Any realm that spins this lo-fi fractal begins. Likewise, their fractal of my gravity extends this book of this void. My fractal of the plateau nearly overlooks my crash across this horizon across your ruin of this whir. But the growth about any semiotic fire furthermore bends this burning life. My void that instead accepts any trail that beckons forever recovers.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
