Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.
En el 2006, Gary Hustwit realizó el documental Helvetica, como ya contamos por aquí. Ahora Hustwit vuelve a traernos una película que gira entorno a los objetos que produce nuestra sociedad, cómo adquieren valores que van mas allá de su propia utilidad, y qué piensan quienes los diseñan.“Objectified es un largometraje documental independiente sobre el diseño industrial. Es una mirada al trabajo que hay detrás de toda creatividad, desde cepillos de dientes a los gadgets tecnología. Trata de las personas que reexaminan, reevaluan y reinventan nuestro entorno fabricado mediante necesidades diarias. Trata de la expresión personal, la identidad, el consumismo, y la sostenibilidad. Trata de nuestra relación con los objetos producidos en masa y, por extensión, de las personas que los diseñan “.Participantes: Paola Antonelli (Museum of Modern Art, New York) Chris Bangle (BMW Group, Munich) Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec (Paris) Andrew Blauvelt (Walker Art Center, Minneapolis) Anthony Dunne (London) Naoto Fukasawa (Tokyo) IDEO (Palo Alto) Jonathan Ive (Apple, California) Hella Jongerius (Rotterdam) Marc Newson (London/Paris) Fiona Raby (London) Dieter Rams (Kronberg, Germany) Karim Rashid (New York) Alice Rawsthorn (International Herald Tribune) Smart Design (New York) Rob Walker (New York Times Magazine) Se estrenará en la primavera del 2009 http://www.objectifiedfilm.com
