A large e-ink display for art powered by a subscription could be interesting. I think you’d have to do it as a prestige piece though... think $10k each minimum.

The art would need to be tailored to the medium. You could use a museum/gallery partnership to commission pieces exclusive to the service and optimized for the display. Pieces would rotate out. Perhaps have a gimmick where each piece is displayed on only one device at a time, and once it rotates away from your device it never comes back unless you pay extra for it. Call the whole thing a study in semi-permanence or something.
You’d have to get some high brow endorsements to make this work.
- simonebrunozzi 6y agoConvince the MOMA, or a similarly prestigious museum, to offer that to 10,000 members, at 10k a pop. Tax deductible as usual. Then, convince other 4-5 prestigious museums elsewhere to do the same. Boom, you have 50k display, which means you have a niche, rich market to start from. Not too impossible, IMHO.
