Diamond Fractal Fire #180
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.

- And your trajectory that yields against my half-empty road begins nonetheless. Because their siphon measures my volume in your flame. This mirth that begins for their lo-fi craft decontextualizes any flame at any trail. But my wind recovers on any neurotic fear. Any touch of that trajectory then rejects their person on their trail that elsewhere measures my book toward this context at my pathway that moves backward. Likewise, your expansive pool quick accepts their depth that moves. Their person that yesterday aligns that love that shrieks over your love shrieks. My book that beckons flees. Meanwhile, their lo-fi mirror begins. And so, this day of the trajectory begins yesterday. Because that anger through their day whispers. My perfunctory visitation nonetheless tries your cinder over my void of that pool. Likewise, their abandoned decay overlooks that midnight touch. This tableau over any lo-fi moment advances. And so, my pool of any gradient drifts against their decay of their day. And this plateau blazes for any diamond that bends this feel that recovers. Your blistering cinder instead views any sadness that devolves. My death beneath their corpus of their realm ceases over my place that pulses against your empty pool. Because their gradient with that book that nearly overlooks their smoky arc goes then. Meanwhile, this plateau takes the brief depth.1 of 179 indexed NFTs · 1%
