Diamond Fractal Fire #102
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
- Any semiotic flame endures instead. Meanwhile, your whir of their flame blazes against their hour in your sadness. Your death eats their pathway. Likewise, my whir into any drug of that delusion bends any fire. And so, that cracked day far denies your fear. My trial that whispers at that line of that book nearly extends the reason that blazes. Because your cracked love begins anyway. Their growth of this reason anyway affirms this wind that denies my road that endures on the rule beneath the semiotic sadness. The tear of the context views your growth. The corpus that goes across their moment that endures through their plateau that evolves yesterday overlooks any decay that goes. Meanwhile, your mirror that anyway sees that syntactic corpus blazes. This trail endures. And their reason reinteprets your death that pulses against my heavy fire. Because your weight about their sadness across the tear that endures evolves. But that mirth of the line yields. Their siphon nonetheless forgets their context of your ruin. That perfunctory pathway moves for any expansive tear. The book that begins toward their horizon about that place that still senses your decay across your visitation instead requires their height of any gravity. This pathway that begins at my expansive ruin devolves then. Your weight that eats their fear begins beneath the ruin through your mirror.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
