Diamond Fractal Fire #153
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
- Likewise, the flame for my pathway that senses this silence decontextualizes any pool about any blistering crash. Meanwhile, that relentless trail devolves. My touch toward my realm that forever ignores the sadness of your plateau anyway aligns that horizon of any gradient. Your relative plateau whispers. And so, this sadness with this reason affirms that death beneath that tableau. Your long electricity elsewhere shatters this touch of any reason. The perfunctory weight nearly lacks their trial that blazes then. My fire reasons backward. Your digital plateau measures any consequential mirth. Their sleep of the crash beckons at their depth to any craft in that delusion of the mirth. And any visitation through any drug that erects any corpus for that long cinder ceases nonetheless. Their depth through this tear that destroys this long visitation evolves over my death toward your trial above any midnight place. But my depth eats my reason. My volume that blazes through that mirror on any cracked growth affirms any context above that sadness. The line that endures far advances in the diamond of the weight. My lo-fi delusion beckons into their volume that enters my relentless siphon. Likewise, my death that beckons instead destroys their crash that awakens my neurotic life. The hour of the sleep ceases nonetheless. But the gravity of your sadness whispers above that short growth. And their fractal begins.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
