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

Countdown was a popular Dutch music television program which was broadcast by the public broadcasting system Veronica from 1978 to 1993. It ranked as one of the top music television programs in all of Europe. Due the popularity of the program, one of its hosts, Adam Curry, became a celebrity. Other hosts included Simone Walraven, Jasper Faber, Erik de Zwart and Wessel van Diepen. A special English-language edition of Countdown was produced for pan-European music channel Music Box super channel in 1986-87, with presenters Adam Curry and Erik de Zwart. The program may have been inspired by the Australian music show CountDown, which aired from 8 November 1974 until 19 July 1987. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
