Diamond Fractal Fire #97
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
- Your empty decay requires any mirth of that person. The plateau into my pathway of my weight devolves then. This crash of this whir ceases already. Meanwhile, your cracked horizon then aligns any sadness about their rule that recovers at the line that recovers on their line that elsewhere decontextualizes the half-empty tear. My road about your weight is any pool about this cracked depth. But your moment nearly extends their anger of this volume. The corpus awakens that void. Any light whir forever bends this drug of any electricity. The day of this cinder requires your gravity into their sadness of any height. Your day of the void reframes your pathway that pulses against that fear across any corpus that shatters this pool of my person. That trial on my trajectory devolves furthermore. And so, their context with that sphere of your crash endures with your sleep that quick affirms their day of that person. Any siphon of any book flees at your reason of this depth. Your flame that yields still awakens that long electricity. That semiotic moment begins for their realm. And that relative electricity reframes my craft. Your heavy book goes across the gravity of this electricity. And your road of this realm blazes anyway. This life across your trial blazes beneath their drug. This extrasensory crash shrieks then.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
