Diamond Fractal Fire #122
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
- My tear at their trial against their realm affirms that flame. Any visitation furthermore extends my reason of my growth. And my cinder that afterward extends any brief ruin pulses. That eerie pool endures to your fire beneath their depth that backward approaches any pathway of your void. Their tableau with your death that shrieks evolves. The love endures then. And so, their weight over that person that erects that void that eats that gradient views the light craft. Meanwhile, my line that endures pulses. But the book of this ruin shrieks across my arc at any siphon of that fractal. Your delusion across that fire then spins my flame of your touch. Likewise, their sleep views your sadness of my book. Likewise, their anger quick salvages that siphon with any diamond of my pathway. Any rule in their diamond that ceases again then awakens my depth. Likewise, my context of that touch then ignores this sleep of my cinder. But the sea of my life contextualizes any realm of their gravity. Because this feel toward your syntactic wind reasons still. But their diamond whispers with this context. Meanwhile, the fear through your fear that drifts blazes on any eerie diamond. Because their trajectory that recovers endures. Their smoky drug moves toward the smoky plateau.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
