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

A man and a woman rush to get dressed and leave home. Each time they put on clothes, the garments instantly change into something different, trapping them inside.

What happens

Monsieur et Madame sont pressés è un cortometraggio del 1902 diretto da Ferdinand Zecca. Un uomo e una donna cercano di fare in fretta per uscire di casa. Tuttavia, ogni volta che cercano di vestirsi, i loro abiti si trasformano istantaneamente in un altro capo di abbigliamento, impedendo così loro di uscire di casa. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
