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 short documentary shows how the AIDS crisis was treated as a joke in news and comedy programs during the 1980s. It uses archival television clips to show the era's tone-deaf and offensive responses to the epidemic.
