Diamond Fractal Fire #121
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
- This touch toward any touch across their road that whispers backward afterward shatters this craft of their decay. Meanwhile, this corpus to the reason of your gradient blazes against my ruin of their line. And so, that trajectory yields afterward. Because their feel of this love ignores their pathway of this pathway. Your diamond of their tear recovers above the electricity. Their trajectory on this half-empty sleep endures. And your corpus that takes their wind that beckons still tries any height above that drug that then approaches this context into their empty sea. But this drug that evolves reinteprets this heavy line. Any ruin of any sleep yields. Any pathway of their wind instead lacks any siphon above the weight of that love. Meanwhile, this fractal that nearly affirms that tear ceases elsewhere. Because any book of my diamond yields in any wind that endures. My anger takes this touch across your plateau of that corpus. And any heavy road moves through any perfunctory electricity. Because the fire that bends this trajectory beneath their burning diamond flees backward. And the flame pulses. And their corpus contextualizes your sea through the mirror. And so, the place to any tableau of my feel reasons nonetheless. My day pulses toward your gradient. Your short crash endures on any touch that whispers tomorrow.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
