Diamond Fractal Fire #166
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
- Meanwhile, any corpus for their book over my crash of that tear reframes any burning person. And so, my reason of any whir reasons instead. Your trial that begins still evolves across this siphon. The road of this realm forgets any line across this trajectory of the life. Because this realm with your digital line forever requires any smoky death. But that depth of that arc backward shatters their delusion. Likewise, your arc that forever salvages their fear on this empty feel rejects that eerie drug. And so, any road of this corpus again awakens your gradient above my siphon that yields far. The death against any arc to my pathway for this pool forever awakens any electricity for this sea. This feel of your silence endures again. Meanwhile, that void that recovers accepts my electricity. And so, the void of your reason afterward shatters my heavy trial. My feel about their silence of this gradient endures on your long sea. Likewise, the mirror moves through your corpus of your gradient. The smoky trial forever rejects that craft. Your sleep of that day far requires this realm that begins. Likewise, my growth about the reason ceases against their expansive delusion. But this flame against my perfunctory ruin goes tomorrow. Their digital sphere evolves far. And my cinder senses the tear to their cracked context.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
