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

DSB overtager Slangerupbanen er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1948. Den private Kjøbenhavn-Slangerup-Banen (KSB), som åbnede i 1906, strækker sig over 34 km mellem København L (ved Lygten) og Slangerup med 17 mellemliggende stationer. Grundet løbende udfordringer og debat om strækningens driftsform overtager Staten den 1. april 1948 linjen fra de fem kommuner, der hidtil har driftet den. Trafikminister Carl Petersen er med, da det første flagsmykkede tog kører fra København N til Slangerup under DSB's ledelse. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
