iPhone app developer Aaron Parecki from Portland let his mobile phone track him for a three-year project. Using the data, he has created stunning colour maps revealing his every move.
Tracking people? Yep! Each cookie had a QR-code etched into it by a lasercutter. When people scanned the QR code we were able to figure out where they did that, and then show that live on a map (see below).
Laurie Frick is a data artist exploring patterns of self-tracking….sensors, surveillance, what will it all mean? Using her background in engineering and high-technology she offers a glimpse into the future of human data portraits physically made and handbuilt as intelligent wallpaper.

Emily Carr University of Art + Design teamed up with the Mozilla Foundation to improve the visualization design of Lightbeam, an experimental add – on for Firefox that allows you to see the third parties that have connected themselves to your online activity.

Track the Trackers is a capstone project created by three Winona State University Mass Communication students. The purpose of this project is to bring into focus the nearly invisible world of third-party tracking. Our goal is to educate consumers on the potential dangers in letting this data be collected, and to share information, techniques, and software to help consumers protect themselves online.

When you visit this site, some surveillance lines of text shows things like the amount of time you’ve spent on the site, your IP address, your location, etc. If you visit it from the World Wide Web, you can’t see the album details.
