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

Slovakia debuterte i Eurovision Song Contest i 1994 og deltok syv ganger inntil landet trakk seg fra konkurransen i 2012 på ubestemt tid. Slovakia ble nummer 18 i 1996, og dette er fremdeles landets beste plassering. Etter innføringen av semifinaler i Eurovision Song Contest i 2004 har landet aldri klart å kvalifisere seg til finalen, og Slovakia har ikke deltatt i konkurransen siden 2012. Den slovakiske kringkasteren RTVS har grunngitt fraværet med dårlig økonomi hos RTVS, kombinert med liten interesse hos seerne og dårlige seertall. I juni 2023 bekreftet kringkasteren at den ikke kommer til å delta i 2024, men at den vurderer en retur i 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
