Inspired by Antony Cairns. This short script was a tiny side project during my COVID restricted masters in photography. With no access to a darkroom I experimented with obscure/misunderstood digital technologies for image-making.
The aim is to demonstrate e-ink technology as a medium for reproduction and the act of repurposing a commercial artefact for unconventional means (in this case appropriating monochrome images -the more indeterminate and abstract the better).
The Bash script is callable within termux, with the API installed. It takes a photo from the android phone and, over wifi, transfers it to the kindle and displays it.
It requires jail broken kindle (I used a kindle 4NT) and root access.
