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

An artist takes a hallucinogenic substance at a party and gains extrasensory powers. He starts seeing a woman who lived in his apartment decades earlier, and his visions grow more vivid and threatening.

What happens

Paris n'existe pas est un film français réalisé par Robert Benayoun et sorti en 1969. Invité à une soirée, Simon, un artiste, fume une substance aux propriétés hallucinogènes. Après cette expérience, il développe des capacités extrasensorielles qui lui permettent de voir non seulement dans l'espace mais aussi dans le futur et le passé. En retournant à son domicile, Simon se met à voir la femme qui occupait l'appartement trente ans plus tôt. Un ami tente de le rassurer. Ces dons lui proviennent de sa sensibilité artistique à fleur de peau, rien de plus. Mais Simon n'est pas convaincu, car les hallucinations se font plus précises. Elles menacent aussi bien sa vie personnelle que professionnelle. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
