There is a bit of problem with that, the Harmony remote is a one way device, it sends out IR signals, it doesn't RECEIVE anything. Displaying artwork on the screen would require the server to send pictures to the remote. The only way I could see doing that is the USB cable used for programming, but that would mean an umbilical connected to the Touch while you are using it, most people would object I would think. Hmm, there is a learning IR port on the Harmony, you might be able to use that to do it, but the data rate would be slow. You would have to make sure you pointed the remote at the Touch for 30 to 60 sixty seconds each time the artwork wanted to change and waited while the picture slowly painted on the screen. Again, probably not the way most people want it to work.
