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 Danish experimental film from 1988 by Kirsten Graver. It is a journey through space, watercolor, and music using eyes and gazes. The video's eyes either see or do not see, they play along with or ignore the other person who is never present on screen, the observer.

What happens

For Øjnene er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1988 instrueret af Kirsten Graver. En rejse i rum, akvarel og musik gennem øjne, blik. Videoens øjne ser eller ser ikke, spiller til eller spiller uden om den anden, der aldrig er til stede på skærmen, iagttageren. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
