Abstract
'I Want To' is an interactive installation controlled by live Twitter messages. One hundred custom designed wooden toys, a television screen and speakers comprise the installation. The system extracts public Twitter messages that start with 'I want to.' The expression 'want to' becomes 'have to', and the newly composed sentence is displayed on the television screen while also being vocalized through speakers. With each "I have to" phrase, the wooden toys respond by marching in unison. This installation gives the audience an opportunity to explore our hopes and desires as unconscious internalizations of external expectations and social norms.
