Using Opensheets as API
You can use OpenSheets to fetch data from Google Sheets as JSON. This is particularly useful for projects where you want to update data dynamically without changing the code.
Simply use the code https://opensheet.elk.sh/SHEET_ID/SHEET_NAME to fetch the data.
Midterm Survey
Hi everyone! We’re halfway through the course, and we’d love to hear how things are going for you. Your feedback helps us make the class even better for the rest of the semester.
Assignment
Due: Oct 27, 2026
This week, you will continue working on your data sculpture project. Think about how your data can be turned into both a digital and physical object. Consider using Object-Oriented Programming to structure your code and make it more modular.
- What kind of physical form will best represent your data? How can you use materials and techniques to bring your data sculpture to life?
- What is your data about? What are some interesting insights?
- How can they translate into an object using attributes like color, size, shape, position, scale, material?
- How can you create enough variation in your design while using rules to maintain consistency?
- How does randomness contribute to your design, and where might it cause unexpected results?
This is the continuing process of our project 2: data sculpture. We will continue to refine and develop this project over the next few weeks. The full description is here.
