This last discovery have made me reconsider the ENTIRE project. I am considering dropping the tech altogether in favour of a more medieval piece of art.
I'll be dropping the led matrix, alongside every personal detail (birthdays,etc)
Instead, I will be building a DYNAMIC PAINTING and basing it on the beautiful and mysterious Flammarion engraving.

So it be multilayered like so:
At the very back should be the background hue colour of the sky

There will be Celeste blue before this. (the example is sunset only.) This should move slowly throughout the day to reflect the time of the day, with the sun setting around the orange part
Then there will be a "space" where the sun/Moon will move.

Then there will be a second roll, this time transparent, with weather elements like few clouds, many clouds, rainy clouds or most importantly wind and thunderstorms . This will allow the clouds to "hide" the sun on cloudy days

On the outside there will be the outer static frame of the "painting"

Then a glass frame to hold everything together. Outside of which there is a small semicircle where a statue rings the bell on hourly basis

I will give up everything else to give it a medieval look, save for some ambient music and the time read in latin on hourly basis.
I seriously doubt I'll be able to pull it off.
But I'll try...
