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.

Yea, 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.

That's really nice, I think HN would love this if it was easy to hack and run custom software

You can point it to any url that serves an image of the right resolution. This way, you can render your own content.

That’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?

Buying 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.

I 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.

Looking 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.

The 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.
