A Google Japan video presenting Magic Calendar, an entry in the Android Experiments OBJECT competition. It shows a calendar-style physical object built around a screen.

HN people post it as an appealing calendar-on-the-wall concept and later compare newer e-ink calendar projects to it.

Boldly expanding the definition of "art" ;) Reminds me of the eink calendar concept that has been bouncing around the web for some years [1]. There's also this project [2] based on the same concept. It seems to me though that these kinds of projects are always held back by the exorbitant costs of decently sized eink displays. [1] ▶ this video [2] link
