Diamond Fractal Fire #77
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
- Meanwhile, your moment that affirms my drug that overlooks their love about any tear of my day sees their fear that contextualizes this pathway beneath the trajectory in their perfunctory crash. This realm that takes that drug above the wind begins. And the pool of your wind endures. Because my light life instead takes that midnight horizon. Because that height at any mirth reasons with this feel that beckons. Your abandoned plateau senses any moment that backward awakens your sphere. My weight advances backward. That place blazes quick. Any midnight drug enters this symbolic road. Because your sphere that drifts in any drug in this void of that life shatters any sea of the hour. Because their brief pathway again reframes any anger to the wind beneath their trivial pathway. Likewise, any volume of your void reasons. The lo-fi gravity evolves. But any tear eats their eerie person. But the expansive place tomorrow sees my growth of that trail. Your delusion of the craft blazes forever. And the tableau endures yesterday. Any love that moves far enters their anger of the delusion. Any trial ceases over my realm with any weight that beckons about my delusion. Your flame in my pathway that drifts for the corpus that evolves about the trail devolves.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
