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

This Danish documentary argues that surveillance technology should be used to empower the weak against the strong, not the opposite. It discusses how biotech, genetic engineering, cloning, and screening could create a synthetic society of perfect and predictable individuals.

What happens

Overvågning fra liv til død er en film instrueret af Vagn Søndergård. Et debatoplæg om den kontrol vi mennesker udsættes for fra vi fødes til vi dør. Den nye overvågningsteknik bør bruges til de svages kontrol med de stærke og ikke som nu - være de stærkes kontrol med de svage. Med de nye teknologier: Bioteknologi, gensplejsning, kloning og screening er det i dag muligt at skabe et syntetisk samfund med perfekte og forudsigelige individer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
