Objectified: A Documentary Film by Gary Hustwit
by possibly noteworthy at 7:20 am EDT, Jul 29, 2008

Objectified is a documentary about industrial design; it’s about the manufactured objects we surround ourselves with, and the people who make them.

The term objectified has two meanings. One is ‘to be treated with the status of a mere object.’ But the other is ‘something abstract expressed in a concrete form,’ as in the way a sculpture objectifies an artist’s thoughts. It’s the act of transforming creative thought into a tangible object, which is what designers in this film do every day. But maybe there’s a third meaning to this title, regarding the ways these objects are affecting us and our environment. Have we all become objectified?
