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 1854, a young scholar named Choe Che-u achieves enlightenment and returns home. Starting in 1861, he teaches a new ideology to poor people amid national chaos. Four years later in 1863, he is arrested by a police officer named Jung Un-ku and tortured in a Daegu prison.
