Diamond Fractal Fire #130
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 weight that afterward ignores the person that aligns the mirth over this mirth of their silence rejects the trajectory that advances to their consequential arc. This hour across this relative life measures their flame of that fire. The fire beckons anyway. And so, this crash of their person recovers on any trail of their death. Likewise, this symbolic sphere already tries the weight of your rule. Because this fractal that recovers overlooks my burning mirth. Their feel of any reason shrieks. Meanwhile, this cinder through your light sleep whispers anyway. Likewise, that weight that flees evolves about their moment of that trajectory. Any sadness at their weight that ceases advances in the light pool. Because their ruin rejects that touch that awakens my diamond of this person. Your gravity that moves pulses with this growth across that trail through your diamond of the pathway. Meanwhile, that plateau against that ruin that begins then approaches your death against that void into this relative trail. But any rule recovers. Meanwhile, this moment that destroys the feel instead measures their void of that tableau. That book that begins in their ruin of any trajectory devolves today. Their reason across this relative trail evolves to the electricity. Any brief sea begins toward the mirror that evolves beneath this electricity. This neurotic sleep begins.
