  Intern #001

  Name: For­rest Kahlil Perrine

  Age: 23

  Loca­tion: Los Ange­les, California

  Prior Loca­tion: The Vanilla Dome; Belling­ham, Washington

  Objec­tive: Some­where between life expe­ri­ence and log­i­cal con­clu­sion, per­haps both.

  Lat­est exper­i­ment in the research labs: Film shut­ter speeds and doc­u­men­ta­tion of sub­ject on skateboard.

  Cre­atively most envi­ous of: Charles Burnett

  Enjoys ter­ri­bly: Fau­vism, and doc­u­ment­ing projects that were built with his hands.

  Con­clu­sive Report: For­rest is intern 001 for one month in Los Ange­les.  A list of pre­ferred women are Suzanne Son­tag, Yayoi Kusama, Samira Makhmal­baf and Han­nah Hoch.  A list of pre­ferred men are Carl Sagan, Charles Bur­nett, Dan Sav­age, Erik Satie, and John Baldessari. Favorite medium is cur­rently col­lage. Lastly, given a $100 bud­get, he would cre­ate a film of him­self con­sum­ing $100 worth of Twinkies or an 18-year-long choose-your-own-adventure film about a father who is a spy in the Appalachian mountains.

• Jettison Quarterly: A Feature on Sirocco

  Sirocco has received our first ever media cov­er­age — our first piece of evi­dence that this all isn’t a dream.

  Check out our fea­ture arti­cle in this month’s issue of the ever so awe­some Chicago based art rag, Jet­ti­son Quar­terly. Issue #6 is gush­ing with some Labs love.

  Some amaz­ingly charm­ing pho­tos were crafted by the Labs to add to the arti­cle. More on those soon.

  

  

  

  

  Thanks, Jet­ti­son, for all the love. We plan on com­ing to Chicago soon to give you hugs and thanks in person.
