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 is a three-part video installation combining film, video, and painting. It questions the idea of originality in art while presenting itself as a unified work.

What happens

Trillinger er en film fra 1989 instrueret af Søren Martinsen. En tredelt videoinstallation. De tre dele, film, video og maleri, udtrykker tre aspekter af sig selv og hinanden. Installationens formål er på samme tid at stille spørgsmålstegn ved kunstens originalitetskriterium og fremstå som samlet værk. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
