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

This show is a reality singing competition where already established artists compete to be the champion. The winner gets to represent the Philippines in a regional ASEAN contest. Voting is a mix of judges' scores and public SMS votes.

What happens

IKON Philippines is a reality singing competition which searches for a champion among existing or established artistes rather than among new, unknown starlets as in other such singing competitions. The programme was co-launched with IKON Indonesia and IKON Malaysia in late 2006 as an initiative to search for an artiste who can represent the country in the regional (ASEAN) level. The verdict is determined by 70% of jury marks and 30% SMS. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
