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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

What happens

Hestesporvognen ("Hønen") gennem Nørregade er en dansk dokumentarisk filmoptagelse fra 1913 produceret af Politiken-Fonden. I filmen ses en hestesporvogn fra Københavns Sporveje på Gammeltorv. De fleste andre sporvognslinjer i København var blevet elektrificeret omkring århundredeskiftet, men linje 11 ad Vendersgade og Nørregade, populært kaldet "Hønen", fik som en enlig undtagelse lov at overleve indtil 14. juni 1915. En hestesporvogn som den i filmen er bevaret af Sporvejsmuseet Skjoldenæsholm, der kører med den på udvalgte åbningsdage. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
