I'm an U.S. artist and educator, based in Berlin this year, working on Give Me My Data http://givememydata.com A Facebook application that helps users export their information. I just gave a paper about GMMD and a two-day workshop on data scraping, visualization, and the Facebook API, at Art Meets Radical Openness in Linz. I think it would be great to participate in OKCon if either of the below fits into your program.

Additionally, we’ll converse and conceptualize ideas to reclaim our data literally and also imagine what is possible with our data once it is ours!
