Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOwen Mundy is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and programmer with 14+ years blending creative practice and technical craftsmanship to interrogate public space, privacy, and big data. As Professor of the Practice in Digital Studies at Davidson College and co-founder of Sneakaway Studio, he teaches and builds work spanning data visualization, internet art, games, and full‑stack interfaces. His research projects—like illuminus.io, I Know Where Your Cat Lives, and Give Me My Data—translate experimental code into widely covered public-facing tools and exhibitions shown globally. A former Fulbright Visiting Professor and creator of applied research for civic data (e.g., census regionalization tools), he pairs rigorous humanities inquiry with production-grade engineering. Notably, his practice often surfaces the unintended metadata traces people leave behind, turning playful interventions into serious critiques of surveillance culture.
