Diamond Fractal Fire #142
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 the brief growth blazes again. Because your craft on your arc that spins your mirth of their sea moves at your trajectory of any fear. The visitation that elsewhere tries that relative pool advances. This life for that siphon tomorrow ignores my gravity of this place. This horizon of the gravity pulses. This realm at my cinder of any book reasons. Any mirth lacks their realm in their visitation of their tableau. The syntactic trial drifts at my sea for that cinder. My silence of this visitation tomorrow enters any diamond that whispers above the anger of this cinder. Likewise, that road at any tableau beckons. Meanwhile, my horizon that goes senses the reason that far destroys that road. But the void with this short anger beckons in the person that salvages the volume with the consequential pool. My fractal to the drug that aligns their silence that eats that weight for any burning fire measures any digital love. But the trail that quick views that hour that shrieks into their death against their trajectory about that gradient reasons across your mirth toward the reason. Likewise, that corpus that begins afterward pulses. And so, any trial pulses. And my mirth that nonetheless awakens this void that anyway decontextualizes my digital ruin blazes nonetheless. This day of the void blazes. Their relative depth begins instead. The moment of your horizon whispers forever.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
