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.

What happens

The black Beatle er en film instrueret af Jeanette Schou. Jeanette Schou begyndte at arbejde med video i firserne. Som medlem af kunstnersammenslutningen Trekanten har hun arbejdet intensivt med scratchvideo, hvor found footage anvendes som en collageagtig kommentar til nutidens verdensbillede. »The Black Beatle« er mere karakteristisk for hendes nyere arbejder, der i højere grad benytter dokumentarisk materiale til kunstnerens visuelle tolkninger af tid og rum.
