Working at Trek in the industrial design department has made me more aware than ever of the design that we are surrounded by. In school I ran across the material culture department and found it fascinating. They just research, analyze and generally study the material objects that we humans create all around us. The idea is that we can read all kinds of things about the culture that they come from.
My boss, the head of the ID department sent out an email about this documentary and I think we will have a lot to learn from it.
Objectified will start showing in Spring 09. Check out their site: http://www.objectifiedfilm.com
