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 Danish animated film from 1985 is a montage of image and sound fragments showing different power discourses in the world. It contrasts journalistic rationality with artistic intuition in a storm of sensory impressions.

What happens
Babylon Blaster er en animationsfilm fra 1985 instrueret af Lejf Marcussen. Dramatisk og polemisk montage af billed- og lydfragmenter, der repræsenterer verdens mange forskellige magtdiskurser - "kirker" - som råber i munden på hinanden og løber sammen i mediernes strøm af impulser. I videoens skjulte undertekst modstilles journalistikkens firkantede rationalitet med kunstens mere intuitive og åbne begrebsapparat, mens alt det ubegribelige passerer revy i en ren sanseorkan.
