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

This documentary tells the story of Danish artist Kirsten Kjær who created many portrait paintings throughout her life. It shows her unusual museum in Thy which has a self-built concert hall and feels like a homemade anarchist community.

What happens

Kirsten Kjær og hendes museum er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2008 med instruktion og manuskript af Jørgen Vestergaard. Kirsten Kjærs Museum i Langvad ved Frøstrup i Thy ligner ikke noget andet sted i Danmark, men kan minde om et selvgroet, lidt anarkistisk miljø på Christiania. I filmen fortæller Harald Fuglsang om den originale kunstner Kirsten Kjær (1893-1985) og hendes bevægede liv. Uden offentlig anerkendelse skabte hun en strøm af portrætmalerier, der fastholder både kendte og ukendte personligheder fra det 20. århundrede. Museets nyeste attraktion er en velskabt koncertsal for kammermusik skabt uden tilskud ved egen indsats. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
