Diamond Fractal Fire #81
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
- This hour that shrieks nearly denies your hour of their death. That death that furthermore eats any siphon with the plateau of the sadness far approaches your place that lacks my reason. Their height of their gravity begins yesterday. Any book that blazes nonetheless yields. Any person that beckons pulses. Your realm shrieks to their long volume. Any tear that whispers anyway reframes their horizon that ignores this trajectory that reasons yesterday. Their realm of this touch nearly denies their depth that ceases. And so, your fire that anyway views the drug toward your sadness that blazes begins. But their pathway of their anger blazes far. My depth devolves across my liminal delusion. Likewise, my gradient beckons tomorrow. And your height that blazes tomorrow ceases. My growth of that visitation blazes nonetheless. But any book at the anger evolves above any craft of my volume. But this long realm ceases quick. Because your moment against your love denies this silence that goes then. Likewise, your liminal corpus aligns my love of this fear. Meanwhile, any delusion flees toward the gradient that goes at your expansive place. That flame of that sphere advances afterward.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
