Abstract
This paper intends to develop questions related to the creation and use of objects in the present times. The place of new objects in a saturated world, opposed to minimalist philosophies, which aim to reduce the use of artefacts and (re) drive industrialized societies to a civilization state as elementary as possible, are aspects to consider and probe. The question of the user participation in the final configuration of objects – do-it-yourself – and questions related to the customization of those objects are fundamental topics. The ready-mades are a perfect excuse to the questions we pursue. The movement around this kind of objects is a matter of great importance in the past century. Those objects participate not in an informative way, but they lead us to a path of thought around the objects we use daily. We intend to connect this movement to the a object ready to be made. Object that we can interact and became emotional engaged with.
