Where can I see Hokusai's Great Wave today?
greatwavetoday.com
greatwavetoday.com
It is automated and checks museum collection pages for changes in the "on view" status for the various impressions of "The Great Wave" by Katsushika Hokusai that are infrequently displayed around the world. I've only seen two different impressions in the past 20 5 years and I want to see as many as I can.
The automation is a bunch of Huginn scenarios scraping pages on a schedule and checking for changes. I can't do all museums this way, but enough are covered to make this project worthwhile. The hard work was finding all the collection pages.
The static website presenting the results is hosted on a free Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute instance running Docker, EasyEngine for nginx. That's pretty much it!
Whilst I could do this for other art, I probably will not.
