How would one make a director’s reel inside of the Sirocco Research Labs?

We’ll see.

Intern: 001

Adrianne Goodrich — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 07:05:57 +0000

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

Katie Reardon — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 22:03:35 +0000

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.
