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

The filmmaker places herself in the air above London and New York using a simple video effect. She tries to live out a utopian dream of weightlessness and free control over the city space.

What happens

City air er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1995, der er instrueret af Simone Aaberg Kærn. Simone Aaberg Kærn har i en række værker beskæftiget sig med flyvningen som både metaforisk og fysisk transportform. I filmen har hun med en enkel videoeffekt anbragt sig selv i luftrummet over London og New York, hvor hun ihærdigt forsøger at udleve en emancipatorisk utopi om vægtløshed og ubekymret beherskelse af byens rum.
