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

In the early 1990s, Brazil's skateboarding industry collapsed due to economic policies. A group of teenage friends made a homemade video called Dirty Money that became a nationwide hit, helping to revive skateboarding as both a sport and a lifestyle in Brazil.

What happens

Motivados pelo amor ao skate e uma atitude "faça você mesmo" alguns amigos, adolescentes na época, se juntaram e lançaram um vídeo caseiro que mudaria as suas vidas para sempre. A fita se chamava "Dirty Money". O vídeo foi um sucesso instantâneo, rodou o país, e inspirou milhares de jovens que compartilhavam o mesmo sonho, se tornando a pedra fundamental para a reconstrução do skate como esporte e estilo de vida no Brasil.
