Freyer's first-person online performance projects Temporama and All My Life for Sale.com have received international attention; artifacts from the All My Life for Sale project now belong to collections as diverse as the Franklin Furnace Collection at MoMA in New York City, the University of Iowa Museum of Art, and Paine Hamilton's kitchen in Portland, Maine. Freyer's book based on the project, All My Life for Sale, has been featured on National Public Radio, the CBC and MTV, and reviewed in The New Yorker magazine, the Sunday London Observer and numerous other publications. In 2002, Freyer was a festival author at Wordfest, the Banff-Calgary International Writers Festival and a Fellow at The MacDowell Colony, where he worked on Motion_Pictures, a series of video collage landscapes. A selection from Motion_Pictures was exhibited at Light Work in Syracuse, New York in Fall 2002. Freyer is currently working with documentary filmmaker Christopher Wilcha on Second-Hand Stories, a video and web-based collaboration that investigates second-hand practices and economies across the United States. Freyer's book about the project will be published by Bloomsbury in early 2004.
