Rainshadow

Photographs, quietly on TV.

Your TV is the biggest screen in the house, and most of the day it's dark. Rainshadow turns it into a quiet gallery wall.

A gallery that arranges itself

Photographs arrive one, two or three at a time in five compositions, laid out from their real shapes so nothing is ever cropped. Each arrangement stays as long as you like, then gives way with a soft crossfade.

A canvas that listens to the photograph

With Photo color, the wall takes its color from the photographs. Natural keeps it calm; Vivid brings out the boldest color in each photo. A slow drifting texture and fine grain give it depth, or choose Charcoal, Black or Paper.
