This software scrapes the Arte Útil archive.
Arte Útil is a project that has inspired Radical Data's work, showing the possibilities of art as a tool within society. As the website hosting the archive has a limited number of possible interactions, we wanted an easier way to explore the projects in the archive.
We built this scraper to collect all of the projects' data into a spreadsheet and download all of the images.
- Install Python
- Install
pandas
andlxml
- Navigate to this folder:
cd ./arte-util-scraper
- Run
python scrape-archive.py
Though I'm sure we would have done it anyway, Arte Útil encourages people to create alternative presentations of the Archive.
Users are invited to download, print and build their own archive. Source
