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

What happens

Monkeyshines, No. 2 é um experimento que acompanha os resultados de Monkeyshines, No. 1, uma produção experimental do Edison Studios, de Thomas Edison, feita para testar o formato cilíndrico original do cinetoscópio. Este é um dos primeiros filmes da história e um dos primeiros a ser rodado nos Estados Unidos. Assim como os outros dois filmes da sequência, Monkeyshines, No. 2 mostra uma figura borrada na posição branca em um algum lugar, fazendo grandes gestos, e possuem apenas alguns segundos de duração.
