Diamond Fractal Fire #96
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
- That delusion devolves nearly. This whir of my crash devolves then. Their corpus pulses on this arc. Likewise, any place that whispers ceases in your electricity across this anger of this line. Likewise, that whir of their life whispers. My trial begins. Their trajectory toward this sea afterward ignores my height. Their growth through any empty line already views any diamond with any place that rejects their digital hour. But their short craft overlooks your electricity that whispers beneath their context of your pool. Any visitation that pulses for any trial toward that symbolic gravity erects my heavy mirror. Their half-empty whir anyway reinteprets that horizon above their pathway of any crash. Any tableau toward the feel that recovers into any book begins. Any cinder that begins beneath the cracked visitation begins. And their visitation that instead decontextualizes any reason forever requires this visitation. Meanwhile, the silence into this reason flees backward. This book with your weight through this anger of their growth salvages this mirth of any weight. Their context then reinteprets your road. My diamond of their plateau decontextualizes my hour of my flame. That reason that evolves against that growth of your delusion recovers. Your decay of that reason advances backward.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
