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.

What happens

Birdwatching è un cortometraggio documentario del 2009 diretto da Luca Attilii, Fabio Massimo Iaquone ed Erminia Palmieri. Il film esplora il paesaggio urbano che caratterizza le metropoli occidentali contemporanee. La lettura interdisciplinare della realtà sociale, culturale ed estetica delle città del nuovo millennio è mediata dalle riflessioni di appartenenti a differenti ambiti di studio e ricerca.
