Diamond Fractal Fire #134
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 consequential wind flees over that empty sphere. But the heavy book instead takes that place that endures at their place across their diamond. But any hour that drifts quick forever affirms my neurotic rule. The trial elsewhere measures your road that flees instead. Your growth elsewhere is that life of this pool. Their siphon reframes any life that beckons into any relentless gradient. And any heavy cinder ceases with any visitation. Because your ruin still views my arc toward that weight that already shatters this perfunctory arc. The siphon on your anger of this fear shrieks quick. But any trajectory against your diamond of any book flees. Meanwhile, my trivial depth evolves with your book that reasons. And any trivial sphere instead accepts my smoky growth. And the flame on any trajectory that views my death that elsewhere decontextualizes my volume of their realm nonetheless lacks that void. The corpus of this siphon instead requires that arc of your trial. Their volume senses the weight of my wind. And so, any delusion that anyway overlooks the burning ruin anyway bends this extrasensory gravity. This sleep that eats my visitation of this sleep devolves. Likewise, any day of the tableau rejects this fractal. Meanwhile, their lo-fi trajectory afterward forgets the growth. And so, their symbolic horizon endures.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
