Facebook App Brings Back Data by Riva Richmond, New York Times, May 1, 2010
“The app is “making hackers out of regular users,” says the developer, Owen Mundy, an assistant professor in Florida State University’s art department. And it’s giving them a way to exercise ownership rights over their data. (After all, Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities says users “own all of the content and information” they have posted on Facebook.)”

Give Me My Data is a Facebook application that helps you reclaim and reuse your facebook data. It is currently in-development but starting to receive an amazing amount of traffic from Facebook users. Apparently the developers at Facebook made a change to the interface this week leaving many users unable to find or display specific information they had added to their pages. Give Me My Data helps users circumvent the problems they are having with the interface by giving them another way to access their data.
Due to the amount of questions I have received about the application I decided to launch a new website to share information about it here: givememydata.com

Today I launched the public alpha version of my Facebook application Give Me My Data for testing and feedback. This app helps you reclaim and reuse your Facebook data.
Feel free to test it and let me know what you think!

Here are two images I created with NodeBox (Python) and PHP (data via facebook API).
All friends, one common link.
All the mutual connections I could gather before the script timed-out. Need to make the gathering more efficient.
“Anemophilous Formula for Computer Art, 2007, by Joelle Dietrick and Owen Mundy. One of my five selections. It consists of a wall projection of Tallahassee’s airport lounge, which hosts a wall size photographic reproduction of Mcklay Gardens. The city is often bombarded with pollen during the month of March. The airport lounge offers a reference of nature in an artificial space. Under the concept of non-places, which was my curatorial thematic, this work was placed in Centro Multimedia’s hallway where people constantly walked, to emphasize the use of the original image in a “non-place.””
