“Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them.”
I watched this film today at the suggestion of a friend and think that it is filled with interesting concepts and inspirations for our first Module. I found that the ideas really solidified what we read for February 1, and most specifically the Csikszentmihalyi “Why We Need Things” reading – how objects define us, how they communicate ideas or politics or affordances, how we as designers express a thought in a design, and how users “listen” to designers and become changed as a result.
If you have Netflix you can instant-watch it right now! Good luck with your projects.
