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

A British reality series follows wealthy young people in London who flaunt their lavish lifestyles on Instagram. The show sparked a scandal when one participant was accused of faking her wealth by filming in a flat she did not own.

What happens

Rich Kids of Instagram is a six-episode British reality television series shown on E4 in 2016. Produced by Popkorn TV, it aired between 4 July 2016 and 8 August 2016. One of the wealthy millennials featured in the series, Russian socialite Julia Stakhiva, was accused by journalist Marina Hyde of The Guardian of fabricating her lifestyle, after it emerged that Stakhiva had rented a spare bedroom in the flat of Hyde's mother-in-law and used other rooms in the flat for filming without permission. The producers of Rich Kids of Instagram re-edited the programme to remove all footage of the Kensington flat, so that it would not appear online or in repeat broadcasts. Stakhiva insisted that she was from a wealthy family, a claim corroborated by Channel 4. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
