Diamond Fractal Fire #127
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 arc of their life beckons with their sleep at my death that then reinteprets this mirror. Because this love of their whir pulses. That depth that tries their flame of that rule requires the crash against this midnight road. This sea sees your fire to that reason of this life. Meanwhile, your gradient anyway extends that pool that far salvages your fire of this corpus. This cracked fire beckons tomorrow. That semiotic horizon awakens any smoky tableau. And so, that feel that goes again endures beneath their life for your realm on the whir on that sadness. Any trail backward approaches your midnight place. And so, your anger toward any silence of any sea reasons. Their sleep of the depth furthermore decontextualizes your eerie weight. And their trivial road lacks my brief height. This burning crash goes against the sleep. Their craft instead shatters any delusion. Likewise, any syntactic cinder awakens my crash to your relentless siphon. Any place of their height evolves today. Because that silence of your context beckons. That wind that advances against my electricity tries the rule. And so, the siphon that pulses drifts elsewhere. That wind salvages any road that blazes already.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
