I Know Where Your Cat Lives: Feline photo mapping website exposes how easy it is to track the owner's locationWebsite highlights issue of internet privacy by mapping cat pictures posted on social media to within eight metres A Florida professor has created a website that highlights the issue of internet privacy by mapping pictures of cats posted on social media by their owners to within eight metres, using publicly accessible geographical location data.Owen Mundy, art professor at Florida State University, has created I Know Where Your Cat Lives, which is part art project, part cute pictures and part project to raise privacy issues. It will go on display in the UK for the first time in an exhibition at Somerset House, London next month. Big Bang Data, which opens on 3 December, explores the effect of the explosion of data generated by people’s online activity in their everyday lives. “The web economy has grown based completely on surveillance,” Professor Mundy said, and added that he wanted to find a way of raising awareness of how much data people were making publicly available, often without realising it.
