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 documentary covers a 2000 art performance by Christoph Schlingensief. He placed asylum seekers in containers modeled after the Big Brother house and let the public vote them out. The piece mocked both reality TV and the rise of xenophobia in Austrian politics.

What happens
Foreigners out! Schlingensiefs Container (in German:Ausländer raus! Schlingensiefs Container), is a Christoph Schlingensief’s 2000 action also known as Please Love Austria that took place during Wiener Festwochen. The title also refers to the Paul Poet’s 90-minute documentary, produced in 2002 from footage of Schlingensief's performance on a central square Vienna. Made in a style that imitated the show Big Brother, it was critically aimed both at certain forms of television entertainment and at the rise of xenophobic language and policies in Austria.
