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 film is made entirely from discarded footage originally created for scientific, industrial, and commercial purposes. It pieces together scenes from computer games, weapons tests, factory lines, and personal videos to create a portrait of a society obsessed with recording itself.
