Love the generated art projects. I just want an art ‘frame’ (display with small computer) that generates new art every so often. Put together a few of the various art ML projects into one product for this.

Yep, I did this https://dheera.net/projects/einkframe/ https://dheera.net/projects/einkframe/ I'm working on a 3-panel version of it since I want a "wider" view of this scrolling landscape, and single e-Ink displays that big aren't cheap but 3 of these smaller displays are still within my budget. https://imgur.com/a/3IfKpb3 https://imgur.com/a/3IfKpb3

  Maybe. There's something beautiful about ephemeral things too.

Hacked kindles work well for this.

  Kindles are too small and have no color. I want a large colorful framed picture. E-ink would be awesome but that’s not cheap for color displays and def not for large ones.

    I mean, if you have cash and time to spend on the engineering, you can do it https://shopkits.eink.com/product/31-2%cb%9d-color-epaper-display-sb1452-qaa/ https://shopkits.eink.com/product/31-2%cb%9d-color-epaper-di... If you don't have that much cash but don't mind it emitting light, just get a used 4K TV or monitor and get a custom frame built for it.

    The good thing is you only have to buy it once, and then you have unlimited amounts of art you can display.

  Also, used Boox tablets of previous models. You can get ones upto 13 inches, which Kindle doesn't have. They run Android, so you can just write a standard Android app and run it, no hacking needed.

New images, yes; but, new art? Isn't the art of an image imbued by the artist, DuChamp style. Or, I guess maybe it's like a quantum effect and the art appears when the viewer perceives it. Don't get me wrong, I too love generative art, conceptually and the outputs of generative algorithms too.

Have you seen the Samsung "The Frame" range? They really look like a painting, they have art you can display, and I'd guess you could add others to it. https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/the-frame/highlights/ https://www.samsung.com/au/tvs/the-frame/highlights/

  Looks like the right hardware. I wonder if it’s easy enough to change the software though. I don’t want existing art, I want generated art, new for me :)
