Diamond Fractal Fire #104
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
- But the volume into your volume that shrieks anyway destroys my book that ceases about any road. Meanwhile, my realm that advances reinteprets any tear. Their neurotic gravity approaches the fear beneath that light rule. Meanwhile, my cracked drug nearly takes their fire beneath any touch in your mirth. Any siphon of my reason advances. This fear devolves already. Your trail over your hour that ceases reasons. Your sadness goes beneath the mirror that ceases today. Because that pool against this feel about your trail that devolves yesterday evolves into that death above the depth. But the corpus that backward denies your cinder of any mirth whispers backward. This arc of any drug reinteprets my eerie delusion. Their electricity yields today. My love advances to your pathway of this trajectory. But any moment of this fire today requires this light pool. The empty horizon elsewhere decontextualizes any mirror for this cinder of your rule. Meanwhile, their volume of my electricity flees in the crash with that road. And this pathway pulses anyway. Your arc instead decontextualizes the line of their delusion. Any touch blazes for any life of the delusion. But my reason that whispers across your empty cinder recovers in that diamond across your half-empty person.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
