Could it update the lock screen picture as well? I find that a lot more interesting than the desktop which I barely ever see.
There's another project that does exactly that, City Art Search: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/city-art-search/9wzd...
Artpip is great, use it for months now, really love it! There is one thing though: I also have LittleSnitch installed and it shows that Artpip often tries to connect to direct IPs. Personally, I don't like giving apps permissions to connect to some random IPs. Would be nice if it used something more meaningful, like images.artpip.com.
Images should be behind images.artpip.com, e.g. https://images.artpip.com/artist-images/s0/Y6/jG-small.jpg I'll take a look into what's causing that.

Ah, okay you are able to print them because some are public domain. But it doesn't look like all of them are? Looking at the category that I am guessing you pulled these from ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Google_Art_Proje... ), some have pretty restrictive rights. One of your recently featured artworks ( https://www.artpip.com/artwork/57a4cf0970f12152abacdf78 ) seems to be owned by the Van Gogh Museum…
Most of the images have been sourced from wikimedia and are all considered in the public domain. See [1] for an example of wikimedia's position on licencing: 'The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".' Also, it's a $9.99 one-off payment, not monthly. Serving tens of thousands of high-res images a day adds u…
I can imagine a situation where an artwork is copyrighted but someone takes a photo of it and uploads it to Wikimedia saying 'here, use my photo'.. but they don't have rights over the original. Which would be like camming a film in the cinema and saying 'the original is copyrighted but my reproduction is PD'.
Not trying to knock the idea - I'm an artist myself and think anything that helps spread and communicate art is great - good on you. Just something to keep an eye on.

Don't know why they still keep it in preview.

So that means "if the artwork is public domain, a faithful reproduction/photo of it is also public domain". But if the original artwork is not PD it's not covered by that statement. I can imagine a situation where an artwork is copyrighted but someone takes a photo of it and uploads it to Wikimedia saying 'here, use my photo'.. but they don't have rights over the original. Which would be like camming a film in the ci…

Wow that's the first app from the Windows store that I actually wanted to install.
The author has posted about it on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/windowsphone/comments/5yjdpp/city_a...
1. Click on the menu bar icon 2. Click on the "Show artpip" 3. Wait for the app to load 4. Click on the fav button.
Too many steps...
I had a lot of hope I could install it with pip ... and then found it was only for Windows and Mac -__- It would be really awesome if it worked like this: sudo pip install artpip artpip install starry-night
Well, you can run something like curl http://artpip.com/api/featured | jq ".artworks[0].url" | xargs -n1 curl > /tmp/wall.jpg && feh --bg-fill /tmp/wall.jpg via crontab every morning or so. But the dev(s) might not be happy about it (although the image itself is downloaded from Wikimedia, not artpip.com).
#!/bin/bash
curl -s http://artpip.com/api/featured |
jq -r '.artworks | map(.url) | join("\n")' |
shuf -n 1 |
xargs curl -s > /tmp/wall.jpg &&
feh --bg-fill /tmp/wall.jpgBy the way, the "add to favs" button should also be located directly into the menu bar dropdown. Right now if I want to mark a wallpaper as a favourite, I have to: 1. Click on the menu bar icon 2. Click on the "Show artpip" 3. Wait for the app to load 4. Click on the fav button. Too many steps...
