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

The Spearman Experiment is an Australian television series, hosted by Magda Szubanski, that counts down Australian pop culture's most defining people and topics based on a public poll commented on by various Australian celebrities. The show is named for Charles Spearman, who developed Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, the statistical technique used to survey the public to produce the show's rankings. It premiered on 8 September 2009. The series began development in May 2009, and was officially announced in early August 2009. The show was ultimately cancelled due to low ratings.
