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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A black and white animated TV calendar from 1963. It follows an elf who helps Santa Claus by using a telescope from his house in a tree to see what people want for Christmas. The calendar included word puzzles that formed a sentence on Christmas Eve.

What happens

Tähystäjätontun seikkailut on Yleisradion vuonna 1963 esittämä televisio-joulukalenteri. Se oli Ylen ensimmäinen joulukalenterisarja. Mustavalkoinen ja piirretty joulukalenteri kertoo joulupukkia avustavasta tähystäjätontusta, joka asuu suuren puun oksalla sijaitsevassa mökissä. Tonttu selvittää kaukoputkensa avulla, mitä ihmiset toivovat joululahjaksi. Kalenteriin liittyi sanallisia arvoituksia, joiden ensimmäisistä kirjaimista muodostui jouluaattona lause.
