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

What happens

Bogtrykkeri er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1938 instrueret af Jette Bang. Trykkerivirksomhed i Grønland. Læselysten er stor hos grønlænderne, men alligevel trykkes der kun forholdsvis få bøger på grønlandsk som følge af det lille marked. På Godthåb Bogtrykkeri, det ene af statens 2 bogtrykkerier i Grønland, sættes satserne med hånden, og der findes hurtigpresse og hæftemaskiner. Lederen af bogtrykkeriet oversætter på skrivemaskine den grønlandske radioavis, der redigeres i København, til grønlandsk. Årstal er anslået. Optagelserne har sammenfald med Telegrafvæsnet, Bogtrykkeri, Landsraadsmøde, Retsmøde, Forsamlingshus, Badeanstalt (Jette Bang, DK, 1939) og Skibsfarten/Bageriet/Butikshandel (Jette Bang, DK, 1939) (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
