Yessss! I looked into building some self contained "slow tech" generative art using eink a couple of years ago but it was just impossible for my tiny budget. This is great, thanks!!

Edit..: I'm so hyped about this; the example image on TFA takes +2 hours to generate, but who cares?! I'd love to have a little display that churns around in the background and creates a new variation on my prompt every whatever hours, displaying the results on an unobtrusive eink screen.



Is it possible to incorporate a personalized "context" into the generator? Weather, market/news sentiments, calendar events, etc... to style the end result.


I love the idea.


Make sure you build in a capacity to save all the previous iterations in case you see something you really like.


Haha I like the idea of walking past, glancing now and then to see if there's something you really love...

but on the other hand I would also love the statement behind something unconnected to the internet that's slowly churning out unique, ephemeral pictures. Yours to enjoy, then gone forever.
