Boldly expanding the definition of "art" ;)
Reminds me of the eink calendar concept that has been bouncing around the web for some years [1].
There's also this project [2] based on the same concept. It seems to me though that these kinds of projects are always held back by the exorbitant costs of decently sized eink displays.

- ranting-moth 3y agoThe definition of art has long ago been eroded into nothing. Put an empty table in the corner and call yourself an artist is perfectly valid today.

- konschubert 3y agoYea, I sell a ready-to-use an eink calendar and the display is definitely the main cost driver. It’s about half of my BOM. That’s also why, admittedly, my calendar has a much smaller display than this newspaper. (It’s this: https://shop.invisible-computers.com/products/invisible-calendar https://shop.invisible-computers.com/products/invisible-cale...)
- yunusabd 3y agoThat's really nice, I think HN would love this if it was easy to hack and run custom software
- konschubert 3y agoYou can point it to any url that serves an image of the right resolution. This way, you can render your own content.

- Lysodium 3y agoThat’s a really cool product to have on a desk. Are there any plans to use color e-ink displays or would that bump up the price point too much?
- w-m 3y agoBuying 455[1] of these and hanging them next to each other would be a nice art project. Alas, I'm lacking the $1.1M, and the space to hang them. [1] https://www.freedomforum.org/todaysfrontpages/ https://www.freedomforum.org/todaysfrontpages/
- yunusabd 3y agoI think that's the wrong link, but I get the idea. Actually it might qualify as art even more, because in terms of functionality it would be borderline useless.
- Tade0 3y agoLooking at the cost of 32" displays, this one is actually on the low end of what devices meant for professional use go for. Still a lot, but not "even pricier than a colour-accurate monitor for creators" a lot.
