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 Danish documentary short from 1990. It combines Chopin's music, Baudelaire's poems, and slide images of Versailles. The images are manipulated with a device called Fotovix to create color changes and collages.

What happens

Hymne til skønheden er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1990, der er instrueret af Leif Andruszkow. Musik-poetisk video over musik af Chopin og digte af Baudelaire til dias-billeder fra Versailles. Videoen er blevet til på baggrund af et eksperiment med Fotovix, hvormed der kan manipuleres med farverne, laves billedudsnit samt positiv/negativ omvending. Det samme billede fremtræder i meget forskellige og præparerede udgaver og fremstår derved som billed-collager. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
