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.

What happens

Mathis var en norsk TV-serie for barn som ble sendt på NRKs Barne-TV i 1975 og 1977. Serien var et slags dokudrama som skildret livet til den fem år gamle Mathis. Den var basert på autentiske opptak hjemme hos familien Fürst og vakte betydelig oppmerksomhet første gang den ble vist. Den første sesong av serien viste barnet i dets egen verden, mens den andre viste barnet mer ut mot samfunnet og andre barn. Kalle Fürst var seriens produsent (og far til Mathis). Kommentatorstemmen var ved Kyrre Haugen Bakke. Den ble vist på svensk TV i 1978. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
