Objectified at MIX09
Join us on March 19, 6-8PM in Lando 4201 for a screening of the latest film by Gary Hustwit.
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?
