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 documentary looks at how Barbie's image influences modern standards for women's bodies and behavior on social media. It questions why women feel pressure to present themselves in a certain way while parts of their bodies are censored online.
