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

Lioness Walking (em tradução livre, Leoa Caminhando) é um filme mudo britânico em curta-metragem, realizado em 1887 pelo inventor e fotógrafo Eadweard Muybridge, parte de seu estudo à respeito do movimento. Atualmente, pode ser visualizado pelo YouTube, encontrando-se em domínio público pela data em que foi realizado. Não se trata de um filme como entendemos hoje, mas de uma sequência de fotografias dispostas de forma a criar a impressão de movimento. Uma cópia encontra-se disponível na Royal Academy of Arts, em Londres. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
