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

Jamie Oliver runs a program in Rotherham, England to teach ordinary people how to cook basic meals from scratch. The idea is that each person who learns will then teach others, spreading cooking skills through the community.

What happens

Jamie's Ministry of Food is a four-part Jamie Oliver food docu-series that aired from 30 September to 21 October 2008, following his attempts to teach basic cooking skills to residents in Rotherham. The title of the show is a play on the Ministry of Food that existed during the Second World War to help people eat well despite food rationing. A companion cookbook of the same name was also released. The show attempted to be premised on the principle of Oliver's 'Pass It On' campaign, with the idea that teaching local townspeople a selection of recipes and skills would see them passing those on to family members and friends and thereby cause an exponential growth.
