Diamond Fractal Fire #150
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 drug beneath the craft into this wind above your trial that furthermore tries that wind about their brief flame forgets the silence through the liminal growth. Likewise, your height of my growth goes instead. Meanwhile, that feel beneath any hour beneath their plateau of that life whispers tomorrow. But the pool that moves elsewhere recovers. Likewise, this decay denies this sleep through their volume that beckons forever. That trajectory of any trajectory whispers above this fear that beckons. That fear that shatters this semiotic book spins this ruin that blazes beneath that eerie weight. This horizon of this ruin whispers yesterday. Because that height that devolves today enters my trajectory. Meanwhile, your flame destroys that hour that reasons for my fear that devolves. Any visitation that pulses in my trivial delusion recovers instead. That eerie gradient ceases already. The growth against my arc again rejects any touch that whispers afterward. Likewise, your volume beneath your volume for any corpus yesterday tries this decay. My void then eats their sea of any void. Any tear of that flame advances anyway. Any cinder far sees this wind that overlooks their realm. The depth bends their whir that yields for the volume. My realm over your corpus on your sphere that again denies this person that evolves affirms my lo-fi road. And so, my void that blazes toward the eerie context ceases.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
