Objectified
A well-groomed, Helvetica loving posse of us bowled over to the Barbican yesterday evening to see Objectified. The second film in an action packed, design trilogy by Mr. Gary Hustwit. it’s about our “complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them” read all about it and buy yourself a poster here.
The charming Q&A session afterwards was full of intellectual insight and concerns for future sustainability. Our own worldly-wise input came from Si, who asked what we all really wanted to know “Hey Gary, what’s in your pockets right now?” This included: a) A wallet big enough to fit his passport in b) a doodle by Nik Schwabe, the 83 year old Swiss visual phenomena artist and c) Some receipts and junk.
When asked what the third and final film in the series is going to be about, the charming Garry came over all mysterious and vanished in a puff of silver smoke.
