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
Activists impersonate corporate and government officials to expose corruption and advocate for social change. They stage elaborate pranks against powerful organizations like Dow Chemical and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
