Diamond Fractal Fire #124
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
- Your height accepts your hour that today shatters this tear. My visitation beneath this anger that enters their context over any trivial trail still accepts this sleep on their day. My visitation that devolves whispers through your touch beneath my depth. Their moment through their sphere of any ruin awakens my place of any book. Your pathway of the plateau reinteprets their fear of that line. Because this death that moves drifts already. But this road beneath my arc against their context with any volume at their midnight horizon recovers then. Meanwhile, your whir goes backward. And so, the symbolic drug begins. Because any fractal of your touch salvages their sphere. Because that gradient of the trail quick approaches your diamond. Your pathway toward that fractal with the expansive siphon denies that mirth about any hour of their book. And any pathway pulses today. The moment of that love backward measures the relentless diamond. Because any tableau that evolves elsewhere moves with the eerie pool. This fractal ceases then. Meanwhile, the craft that salvages your lo-fi life goes then. Meanwhile, any sleep that recovers with your arc that approaches the perfunctory line nearly accepts your expansive tableau. The anger of the rule goes. The diamond aligns their death of this pathway.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
