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 TV series strings together rarely seen NASA footage from early space exploration through the 1990s. It sets the images to a dance music soundtrack.

What happens
The Trip is an eight-part Channel 4 television series that was first broadcast in 1999 (during the late night time bracket known as 4Later). The Trip consists of rarely seen NASA space footage from the earliest days of space exploration to the 1990s, set to a dance music soundtrack. The show was created by producer Jacques Peretti. A CD soundtrack for the series was released by Shifty Disco on 22 March 1999, containing many of the tracks used in the series. A second series was broadcast in 2001, featuring a wider range of music genres and footage from various sources, rather than NASA space exploration footage. This series has not been made available on Channel 4 4oD. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
