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
An artist plays recordings of his father speaking in the Ho-Chunk language while showing landscapes they traveled through. The words are written out phonetically and then fade away, exploring the gap between recording and memory.
