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

A film that explores the Vedantic philosophical concepts of ego and attachment. It shows how these ideas bind a person to the cycle of rebirth, and how spiritual knowledge can lead to liberation.

What happens

Mamata (em sânscrito "ação do eu") é segundo a escola filosófica vedanta uma das duas alças da algema que ata as mãos da alma individual ao samsara, ou ciclo de nascimentos e mortes. Enquanto houver a noção de aham, ou "eu", "ego” existirá a noção de mamata, ou "isso é meu", "está relacionado a mim", que funcionam como algemas atando o ser ao mundo material. Tanto aham quanto mamata são destruídos com o surgimento de vidya, o conhecimento espiritual que leva a moksha. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
