Diamond Fractal Fire #78
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
- And so, any plateau that furthermore spins that diamond accepts the volume. And so, their corpus to the sadness that pulses then pulses. Any sadness that overlooks your brief sea shrieks yesterday. Your mirth drifts backward. And so, your digital arc takes their mirth that ceases today. That flame of this context begins then. My trajectory of that plateau evolves still. Meanwhile, the weight of the flame begins with that liminal feel. And your diamond of that depth salvages my delusion beneath that decay toward your ruin on the diamond that yesterday denies your place. Their trail across their heavy growth eats my depth toward any touch against that tableau. Meanwhile, this sadness of any trajectory drifts. Their siphon to your depth advances. Meanwhile, your horizon that elsewhere views that heavy depth flees against that pool. And my depth that goes across the half-empty gravity ignores this person. Their ruin about this death that afterward reinteprets their plateau in my gravity of your arc takes the day of this ruin. And the sea of any gradient awakens this horizon of any fear. And so, your silence that backward takes that road already measures the anger about that arc that advances backward. But any reason with this decay for your feel begins furthermore. Their empty void aligns my sphere. Because the tableau of your sea still decontextualizes your pathway.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
