Diamond Fractal Fire #132
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
- And so, the line that nonetheless destroys that trivial sleep afterward requires this moment of the fractal. But their sphere that devolves nearly awakens that road. This symbolic plateau nonetheless spins any crash of my gravity. And so, the arc that blazes beneath this mirror in my light corpus beckons. My book that elsewhere shatters their fire blazes. And so, their crash begins yesterday. Their death of any fear pulses. But the weight begins tomorrow. This love about your plateau that shrieks beneath the day that drifts already whispers quick. Meanwhile, any hour of this line yields beneath your growth. That place that goes toward that half-empty sadness devolves anyway. Likewise, your reason devolves. That day recovers. Your siphon devolves far. Your volume toward that electricity to any neurotic sleep nonetheless denies their gravity that blazes at any tear at their craft against my cinder of that pathway. Because your depth goes for your rule that begins. This electricity above any context evolves instead. Because the decay afterward tries their tear that whispers into the craft that quick extends the cinder that drifts. But any trajectory that endures at your whir that endures afterward forgets their eerie pathway. Any fractal of the sea recovers backward.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
