Love this concept but living in Arizona it's always been the same image every time I check :/ I might just be checking at bad times but would be lovely if it could be fine-tuned to be a bit more relative to the location. Incredible idea though, so simple but so much lovelier than your standard weather UI

I read that as "Entitled Brown and Gray" and chuckled.

I mean, you live in Arizona, it's probably going to be the same every day until you hit monsoon season.

Absolutely love this. As a person that only knows a tiny bit more about art than the average person, I’ve always loved Rothko. It might be the only form of abstract/modern art I’ve loved.

The only other thing I love is chiaroscuro so I think I’m going to try and make something similar for that.

Seems to have ingested some non-paintings as well :) https://rothko.joonas.wtf/images/rothko-chapel-1967.jpg

Cool project, would make a good variable display in the home maybe; weather prediction but aesthetic

I set it as my screensaver on OSX, but still figuring out how to get it to show somewhere other than NYC :/
