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
This is a television recording of a 1985 East German theater production of a Bertolt Brecht play from 1932. It shows a fictional society where people are divided by the shape of their heads, and follows how this division is used to distract from real problems.
