"Words Are Free" is an interactive digital art installation that was built for the August Wilson Center during the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh.

The installation explores the pulse of Pittsburgh's citizenry. Onlookers are encouraged to voice their personal response to the prompts "I want", "I need" by texting a particular number on their cellphones. Their answers are added to other peoples responses through a dynamic animated projection onto a screen in the window. Thus a collective archive emerges, at times humorous, at times sad, at times profound, at times banal, an evolving document of the desires and despairs of the people of Pittsburgh.
