The Last Headshop

 The short film The Last Headshop by Matt Lenski and artist Sy Goldstein with some assistance from artificial intelligence, is a project that conjures up Lenski's memories of New York City prior to Rudy Giuliani's "broken windows" clean up operation in the mid-'90s that started the ongoing gentrification movement. The city was a collection of gritty subcultures and businesses in which a skull shop could believably fit in. But there really wasn't such a thing, so this is an imaginary documentary that evokes the flavor of the city in those days. You can read about the inspirations and the meaning of the film in this interview with Lenski. (via The Awesomer)
