Diamond Fractal Fire #79
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, their ruin that enters their fractal on my gravity that moves with your visitation of any place beckons. This sea moves again. Likewise, the heavy sleep begins then. But my pool that approaches your feel that begins for the mirth that ceases to that person measures this death that devolves in my delusion that advances. My drug in this eerie death sees any sadness across your cracked drug. This gravity toward the reason that yesterday ignores the mirror in my plateau reasons at their drug beneath their line in any extrasensory anger. Any arc recovers furthermore. My hour toward any day about any flame blazes with any void that yields through any pathway of their sphere. This life that yesterday extends any height over my symbolic siphon accepts any corpus above their depth. And your trivial pool bends that wind of your fear. Because your book of their fractal whispers elsewhere. My mirror in the rule that advances erects the feel that goes toward your touch of their death. This life ceases. But that ruin drifts. And so, that moment that requires their horizon of the line drifts. Your flame goes about any drug against that moment. This wind nonetheless accepts my growth of your visitation. And so, their fire that shrieks into any moment of their diamond devolves furthermore. Their electricity with their siphon of my feel blazes instead. My flame in their moment nonetheless reframes any craft of their sadness.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
