The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

This is a short documentary from 1931 showing bananas being imported to Copenhagen. It follows the bananas as they are unloaded from trains, moved through a warehouse, checked for ripeness, labeled, and packed into boxes for delivery.

What happens

Bananer distribueres i København er en dansk dokumentaroptagelse fra 1931. Fyffes er verdens ældste 'frugt-brand' og importeres til Danmark af grosserer A.W. Kirkebye (1877-1957). Bananstokkene bæres ud af godsvogne ved Københavns Hovedbanegård og til banancentralen, hvor de kører ophængt i kæder gennem lange gange og ind på bananmodningslageret. De tilses og kontrolleres. Bananerne mærkes med Fyffes-klistermærket og lægges i kasser i minde klaser. Efterfølgende pakkes de i papkasser. Fyffesbilerne holder klar til at transportere bananerne ud til butikkerne. Anker W. Kirkebyes hovedkontor og banancentral i København lå på Bernstorffsgade 30 (senere Københavns Postcenter). Filmen er formentlig lavet i forbindelse med selskabets 25 års jubilæum. Årstallet er anslået. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
