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

Art Mann Presents was a reality travel show on AXS TV (formerly HDNet) hosted by Art Mann. It featured eclectic public party events and festivals in North America. Mann's persona is a straight-shooting "everyman" reporter who interviews colorful, often inebriated, characters he meets at the events. Art Mann Presents has aired on HDNet/AXS TV since February 2005 and has been out of production since December 2015. Events visited have included Mardi Gras festivities in New Orleans and various other cities, Bay to Breakers, the Indianapolis 500, and tailgate parties at Jimmy Buffett concerts and other shows and sports events. The network had also aired an uncensored late-night version of the show featuring ample female nudity, Art Mann Presents: Unrated, until HDNet became AXS TV in July, 2012, and in accordance with the network format changing to a more gender-neutral live entertainment focus, the explicit version was dropped from the schedule. The song played during the show's opening credits was "Routine of the Dancer" by The Musical Outfits. Glenn Ebow, an occasional on-screen talent, served as the primary video engineer, cinematographer, and audio technician behind the scenes. Notable guest stars on the program have included Carmen Electra, Jesse Jane, Jessica Mathews, and Kimberly Fisher. While no new information regarding the show's status and whether or not it will ever return is known, Art Mann Presents has a new home on Youtube airing partial clips from the series.
