What happened
The festival's only act was a few seconds of a flying pixel cat, looped on every screen for ten hours. The committee called this a residency. Guests who left for the bathroom came back to find it exactly where they left it. At 6 a.m. somebody switched it off, and the silence caused a small panic.
