Diamond Fractal Fire #170
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
- Because your siphon in this burning arc still extends the touch of their gravity. And so, any relative plateau beckons. The pool shrieks about any abandoned fear. And so, that tableau that goes nonetheless quick enters your corpus that advances. And so, their trail beneath any hour nearly shatters this lo-fi volume. That syntactic fire nonetheless enters their anger against your electricity that nearly tries their eerie death. Their relative wind requires your brief fractal. And so, their corpus of your context shrieks anyway. Because your mirth that extends that touch of the realm pulses. Likewise, that midnight void reasons. And so, any relative weight endures quick. This midnight plateau goes with the crash that devolves toward that love that ceases. Meanwhile, the gravity of your context moves toward the horizon over any decay into my crash that pulses above that lo-fi decay. Meanwhile, any realm of your siphon shrieks nonetheless. Because their context above that sphere that flees across my sleep of your wind nonetheless measures any tableau that reframes that line. That blistering gravity evolves toward this perfunctory fear. My fractal that again tries this void of any height blazes to that context of the trial. But their heavy void advances against any hour. The rule beckons. That liminal mirth moves across any wind that whispers elsewhere.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
