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

An eight-year-old girl in Dakar wonders if closing her eyes makes people disappear like the light inside a refrigerator. She decides to test her idea.

What happens

Elle découvre que, lorsqu'on ferme la porte du réfrigérateur, la lumière s'éteint. Peut-être que ça marche aussi avec les gens : peut-être que quand on ferme les yeux, ils disparaissent.
