Objects in the New Century

Throughout the centuries designers have created wonderful objects that are functional to their consumers. The designers in this century make a lot of objects from chairs, bowls, earrings, purses, and many more. Fumbling through the website to get something related to the movie that we watched in class called Objectified. I found an artist name Jeff Davis who uses old vinyl records that have been discarded and no longer used to listen to at home. He uses 12” vinyl records to shape them like bowls which are functional for dry foods or for decoration. The label is still intact with a mylar seal that protects the label. His bowls have been in exhibitions and a person can actually buy these bowls with there favorite genre of music. Jeff Davis also makes bowls that have vinyl feet which gives the bowls some personality. His art relates to the movie because he uses something that has not been used in a long time and makes them a piece of art that a person can actually use again but in a different function. There were some other artists who used vinyl records to make necklaces, earrings, purses, journals, and even silhouette figures.  I have picked this artist, Jeff Davis, because it incorporates with the movie and how each designer designs objects to make them functional for their consumers, and how they want their product to make the consumers happy and comfortable with their product.
