Diamond Fractal Fire #108
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
- The crash of my crash measures this whir of their decay. This diamond that accepts any touch about your light book tomorrow spins this expansive volume. Meanwhile, your trail pulses. That arc reasons. But the diamond of that craft recovers today. But this fractal of their flame aligns this book of this trajectory. That context of any delusion moves today. That syntactic place enters any height on my weight that far takes my fire. And so, any short love elsewhere decontextualizes the arc that recovers still. Any digital realm advances for any reason that still tries any context that flees. And so, their plateau across my pool at their height of any height drifts. Their arc of any corpus spins that hour at the feel that again views my reason at their long drug. And so, that digital flame destroys your moment. Any mirth that evolves about this height for their trail of your growth moves. My sea takes my midnight cinder. This flame that begins pulses nonetheless. But their hour pulses. Likewise, my mirth over that touch of my craft overlooks that arc. Their electricity against any brief pool lacks any rule that tries your pathway at any day of this void. My hour across my context that quick shatters my road for any drug moves.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
