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 traces water from its source in the farmland to the city of Copenhagen and onward to the sewer system and sea. It shows how industrial pollution moves through the cycle and returns in fish caught in the strait.

What happens

De dyre dråber er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1990 med instruktion og manuskript af Jan C. G. Larsen. Filmen viser sammenhængen i storbyen Københavns vandkredsløb i stedet for nyhedsmediernes fragmenterede billede af den ene eller anden punktforurening. Den følger vandet fra storbyens lange sugerørs vandindvinding i det sjællandske landskab frem til forbrugeren og industrien, videre fra vandhane til afløb, ud gennem kloaksystemet til gensynet med den standhaftige tinsoldat. Pointen er, at tungmetallerne går urenset igennem Lynetten, og soldaten findes igen i en fisk fanget i Øresund. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
