Objectified: A Documentary Film by Gary Hustwit
Topic: Documentary 10:30 pm EST, Jan  7, 2009

The trailer for Gary Hustwit's new film is now available.

Objectified is a feature-length independent documentary about industrial design. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the people who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability. It’s about our relationship to mass-produced objects and, by extension, the people who design them.

Through vérité footage and in-depth conversations, the film documents the creative processes of some of the world’s most influential designers, and looks at how the things they make impact our lives. What can we learn about who we are, and who we want to be, from the objects with which we surround ourselves?

Previously:

Have we all become objectified?

Recently, on Sherry Turkle's new book:

This book will force you to think about your relationships with technology, and to more carefully watch those around you and their uses of different devices.

Indeed, it will make you think about the machines around you in a profound way; how do these things really make you feel?

Also from Hustwit:

Typography is not simply a frou-frou debate over aesthetics orchestrated by a hidden coterie of graphic-design nerds.

From last year, but not from Hustwit:

“Design stupidly produces more things, and for years I’ve spoken about the importance of living with fewer things. But my position is a little ambiguous.”
