Owen Mundy (1975, USA) is an artist, designer and programmer based in North Carolina. His research investigates public space, information privacy and big data. He had a ten-year career in web and app development and also teaches a range of subjects for both the study and production of data visualization, Internet art, interface design, game design and physical computing.
Mundy's recent works include mobile and web-based apps and visualizations like 'illuminus.io', a research-based personality and risk analysis tool which appears in the Peabody-awarded web documentary 'Do Not Track'; the online viral big data visualization, 'I Know Where Your Cat Lives', which maps seven million images tagged with #cat using the locations in the metadata users unknowingly uploaded to social media; and 'Give Me My Data', a tool that helps users export their data back out of Facebook.
