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

Michael Jackson presents his own footage from the same interviews that journalist Martin Bashir used for a documentary Jackson felt misrepresented him. The film shows Jackson explaining his side of the story and defending his parenting and public image.

What happens

The Michael Jackson Interview: The Footage You Were Never Meant To See is a television documentary film released as a rebuttal to Living with Michael Jackson, in which the British journalist Martin Bashir interviewed the American singer Michael Jackson from May 2002 to January 2003. Jackson felt betrayed by Bashir and said that Living with Michael Jackson gave a distorted picture of his behavior and conduct as a father. It was broadcast on February 20, 2003, on Fox in the US, and on February 24 on Sky One in the UK. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
