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 video film imagines a future ice age and rising seas swallowing cities like Bombay, Calcutta, and London. The film presents this vision without any spoken words.

What happens

The Flood er en eksperimentalfilm fra 1992 instrueret af Torben Skjødt Jensen efter manuskript af Jens Arentzen. Ifølge videnskabelig teori og beregning er det helt sikkert, at der igen vil komme en istid, og jordens overflade vil blive dækket... Havene vil rejse sig og byer vil blive oversvømmet... Storbyer som Bombay, Calcutta og endda London... En videovision om en verden uden ord... (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
