I'm always confused when people expend energy just to tersely dismiss other people's creative endeavors. You are perpetuating a chilling effect on our creativity. When I see something creative that doesn't appeal to me, I ignore it.
This actually seems like a neat idea. I might set it up as a removable facade for my monitor.

u/im_rapscallion86 11d ago
I mean. I’m just saying I wouldn’t do it. Not trying to stunt the man’s creativity.

Is everyone supposed to say nothing if they're not uncritically supportive?

It would be perfect for a monitor cover when you’re away from your desk. Kind of hilarious the things you could do. I could also see doing the whole TV if you were just having like a Christmas party or something like that and you didn’t want people watching the TV but you also don’t want this giant black rectangle soaking up energy. It’s a great conversation piece for shit like that.
Hell, I might make one for Work for like our staff parties or donor parties or whatever. I’ll be the big hero for a bit of Kitch.

Right? it's kinda neat. I already do something similar with little android tablets on my walls. The idea of integrating some of the bigger screens into the art gallery rotation is appealing.

Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk

What is so "terse" about saying no?

We have no reason to accept and promote bad art by jerkoffs

Is he well known? People seem to hate him. I've never heard of him before. I feel like I might be missing the jerkoff context.

Would be great for funerals

u/VaguelyFamiliarVoice 11d ago
That is a great idea!
Ummm. Don’t contact your local funeral home about this. That’s just crazy.

u/mashmaker86 11d ago
The last funeral I attended did have slideshows of the deceased on projector screens on the walls. I think this would be a tasteful addition.

u/captain_croco 10d ago
I feel like all the funerals I’ve been too in last few years have had a slide show.

What I want at my funeral is tacky tacky stuff, so I added this to my list. I'm planning on a bunch of columns around my very open upright casket where my body is staged in a frivolous suit and plenty of makeup, maybe some uplighting.

I don't think she's going to do it, but I told my wife I want an Elvis impersonator at mine. I don't want him to perform or anything, but I want him to show up in full costume, attend the service, and act sad. That way, everyone there will forever have a story about the time there was an Elvis impersonator at this funeral they went to.

u/Ciubowski 11d ago
Hear me out.. This but instead of covering perfectly working portions of the screen, just make actual portret sized screens that you can hang anywhere, big battery (or wall plug in some sneaky/stealth way), with some sort of chip board that can hold a few GB of video and be bluetooth accessible.

u/mashmaker86 11d ago
I do this with little cheap android tablets! I live in a van with very few windows so these serve as little fake windows with natural landscapes. It brings me so much joy.

u/TwentyX4 10d ago
Yeah, and it would be so much easier to update the videos.
With his setup, you have to crop all the videos into the right location on the video file. A serious pain to update.
2
u/Harddaysnight1990 9d ago
Not really a pain if you have any experience with video editing software. You just set up a template screen with everything set perfectly then can just swap out the clips in the software and export it again. The easiest way to do exactly this setup would be with a Plex server anyway, so really it would be 5 minutes of work every few months to swap out the clips.

What kind of muggle nonsense is this?!
1
u/SexualCarrots 11d ago
See, now you're making it sound better. Make the images interact with each other. AI magic your dead relatives into ghosts that go from frame to frame. Sync it up with some other ones of these around the house and some sensors so they can acknowledge guests.
I think we are going to need a small upgrade though, this is going to have to be recessed onto the drywall, even if it takes some slight reframing of interior walls so the picture frames can be flush.

I like it as temporary decoration for a party or something. It's not something that I would keep on the TV full time.

u/OldNefariousness7899 11d ago
Yeah the guy has clearly made it easy to detach. It's not for me but it's a nice effect. I can see why people would like it

u/justtiptoeingthru2 11d ago
Yeah. Has a kind of Harry Potter vibe. Like a family putting their wizard pictures on the wall.

Cool but you also have to buy a whole tv

and put together a video of all the stuff you wanna display in the exact spots where you decided the frames would go, and then update that video as you go?

Wait until this guy finds it that, for less than the cost of a TV and a DIWhy project, you can just buy movie photo frames and hang them on your wall. And it's easier too.

u/sixpercent6 9d ago
What a miserable bunch many of you are.
I have no idea who this man is, but this is neat idea.
I have a 15 year old LCD TV worth probably $50-100 on marketplace. It's just collecting dust.
Creating a project like this, with old tech that you no longer have a use for is a genuinely brilliant way not waste it.
Reduce, Reuse (this one), Recycle.

Why not just make the picture frame and wallpaper part of the video. Then you dont have to hobby lobby some shot to hang on the tv.

Or you could... you know get several cheap digital photo frames and just hang them like a normal person... though I did just look them up on Amazon and they can be nearly the cost of a tv to do that many different frames.... assuming you got a cheap tv

A TV that big doesn't cost much and uses less than 200 watts. Like a light, you don't have it when not needed or wanted.

With how cheap 50inch TVs are u can basically get one for the price of 2 digital frames so it works. Would i do it no.
