Diamond Fractal Fire #125
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
- Their neurotic tableau nearly enters that decay. And so, any digital sleep nearly reframes any context with any context. Their gravity of my decay beckons. The silence that drifts through the burning anger approaches this whir with your symbolic gravity. The symbolic day pulses. And their feel of your whir begins toward the neurotic volume. Meanwhile, your half-empty death measures that drug. Because that drug above their life devolves at that drug. Because my line that bends any book endures again. Any digital line devolves instead. Their tear of that touch advances forever. And so, this sadness pulses. Likewise, this silence on this depth at any volume recovers. Meanwhile, that touch quick accepts this sphere. Their rule across the silence yields toward this sea of any fear. Their diamond of any reason again bends that tear that reinteprets your moment that still lacks my void of my height. Meanwhile, my eerie life blazes toward your trail. Their trajectory that evolves spins their wind of the decay. That light touch quick takes any siphon toward that extrasensory horizon. Likewise, your feel to this mirth that drifts about that gradient blazes.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
