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

Ny teknik - styrelse eller frigørelse er en film instrueret af Freddy Tornberg efter manuskript af Freddy Tornberg. Et debatoplæg, som grundigt introducerer de mange dele af problematikken omkring indførelsen og brugen af den nye teknologi. Filmen viser glimt af, hvorledes edb - og anden ny teknik - er taget i brug på arbejdspladser, i pengeinstitutter, på fødevareområdet, på hospitaler og på dagblade. Overalt spares der tid, penge og nogle steder arbejdskraft. Nogle steder opleves den nye teknik som en styrende kontrolforanstaltning i forbindelse med personlige forhold og arbejdsindsats, andre steder har den nye teknik afløst hårdt monotont arbejde og givet udfordringer og intellektuel tilfredshed.
