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 Noise was an Australian music television show broadcast by SBS from 29 July 1986 until 1992. It was hosted by Annette Shun Wah until her on air departure from the show on 6 December 1992 after which the show was axed. The program played music videos, interviews and live footage. It did not follow the charts like most other shows and they played more emerging performers and played music across many genres. It was cancelled in 1987 due to pay-to-play fees imposed by record companies but was reinstated later that year. It was screened on weekdays at 5:30 pm with a late night compilation show on Fridays before moving to a weekly show on Sundays. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
