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

Lady Travellers è una serie televisiva prodotta da Rai (Radiotelevisione Italiana) e Rai Storia, trasmessa su Rai Storia dal 2015 al 2017. Sono state realizzate due stagioni. La serie narra la vita e i viaggi avventurosi di dodici donne esploratrici vissute tra il XIX e il XX secolo. La narrazione è in parte extradiegetica, con una voce fuori campo che racconta in prima persona la storia del personaggio trattato, mentre sullo schermo corrono animazioni realizzate con la tecnica del teatro delle ombre e foto e filmati originali dell'epoca, e in parte diegetica, con interviste e approfondimenti di ricercatrici e docenti.
