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.

What happens

Brydning af kul, marmor og kryolit i Grønland er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1939, der er instrueret af Jette Bang. Grønlands årlige kulforbrug på ca. 7000 ton brydes i Statens kulbrud ved Qullissat i Nordgrønland. Udskibningen foregår fra åben strand. Brudet får den nødvendige kraft fra et 100 KH dampanlæg. Kullene brydes maskinelt. Marmor til bygninger og monumenter brydes i Marmorilik i Umanak i Vestgrønland. En messe servicerer de mange grønlandske arbejdere i minebyen. Kryolit brydes ved Ivigtut i Sydgrønland. Siden 1856 har selskabet Øresund, hvori staten er deltager, udvundet det værdifulde mineral kryolit, som mest anvendes i aluminiumindustrien, men også ved fremstillingen af emalje, opalglas og som insektdræbende middel. En civilingeniør-uddannet kontrollør varetager statens interesser ved minen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
