According to Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities:
"You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and 
you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application 
settings."
Give Me My Data helps you to exercise this right by presenting your 
information in easy to use formats. Give Me My Data is a Facebook 
application that helps users export their data out of Facebook. Reasons 
could include making artwork, archiving and deleting your account, or 
circumventing the interface Facebook provides. Data can be exported in 
CSV, XML, and other common formats. Give Me My Data is currently in 
public-beta.

The talk will be in English.

Owen Mundy is an artist who investigates public space and its 
relationship to data. His artwork highlights inconspicuous trends and 
offers tools to make hackers out of everyday users. He is an Assistant 
Professor of Art at Florida State University and DAAD fellow, currently 
based in Berlin.
