Space Diaries
A slow-tech cosmic companion by Ori
What is Space Diaries
Space Diaries is a poetic art device that quietly reflects the cosmos.
It’s a standalone e-ink device that generates and displays unique celestial images throughout the day, accompanied by a tiny space log — a poetic fragment, like a captain’s whisper into the void.
A blend of art, code, and silence. This is a personal, meditative object — not an app, not a notification machine — but inspiration.
A Universe on Your Shelf
Each image is generated algorithmically — no two are the same.
​
Designed to look and feel like a distant transmission, capturing planets, stars, moons, and mysterious space formations that appear and fade like thoughts. It’s not meant to inform, but to evoke.
Solar-Powered. Signal-Ready.
Space Diaries charges by sunlight, storing energy in its battery to transmit throughout the day.
​
It sleeps deeply, wakes briefly — just to share a cosmic moment.
A dial lets you set the signal frequency: from 1 to 10 transmissions per day.
​
Place it by a window.
Forget it’s there.
Let it whisper an inspiring distant transmission.

A Constellation of Seekers
Though each Space Diary sits quietly in its own corner of the world, every device is part of a shared constellation. ​From time to time, special transmissions may ripple through the stars — secret dates, synchronized visuals, poetic echoes only visible to those tuned in.
​
You’re not just a viewer — you’re a co-drifter, a fellow traveler across the quiet dimension of time and art.
​
There may be messages.
There may be codes.
There may be surprises that only you will notice… or maybe all of us, at once.
