Thanks for your interest in the Corporation Chaos Summer Internship Program '22! Voted Best Unpaid Summer Internship At Burning Man by Forbes*, and recipient of the prized NOT rating by the website** sweatshopornot.com, Corporation Chaos has been overwhelmed with applications from hundreds of screaming fans desperate to join our camp. We are currently sorting the deluge of applications by offers of exotic drugs, elaborate sexual favors, and blood sacrifices. And let me tell you, oh gentle ePlaya reader, the competition is fierce.

Nevertheless, Corporation Chaos HQ (at 5:15&G) seems to have space in our generous placement for 2-4 additional interns (and, our lawyers remind us, all their camping gear) to share our space and help operate our big art project this year, Chill Pills. If you are looking for a camp and want to volunteer some time for an art project centered on radical gifting and destimatizing mental health, Corporation Chaos might be right for you!

Our big art project this year is Chill Pills, the radical bead gifting game in a prescription pill bottle. See more info on this project on our GoFundMe or read the game instructions and bead descriptions on our full menu. We're hoping to distribute 2000 sets of beads during event week through Playa Pharmacy located nearby camp at 5:15&D. To pull this off, Playa Pharmacy needs to operate as close to 24/7 as possible during burn week.

Interns would function as the primary art support staff (dubbed "Pharmacists") at Playa Pharmacy, distributing beads and awarding prizes to people playing the game (dubbed "Enablers"). Pharmacist training takes 5 minutes, and lab coats are available upon request. If you're into radical gifting or large scale distributed gaming, if you enjoy service-sector performance art, eclectic bead art, or pharmacy roleplay, or if you're just good at really listening to people while opening child-resistant pill bottles, then you'd probably make a fantastic Pharmacist. We're hoping for interns willing to commit 6-8 hours during burn week on this project. Schedule is extremely flexible, but it gives some idea of the commitment we're looking for.

Corporation Chaos currently numbers between 12-16 people (depends on how you count 'em) mostly in our 30s and 40s, some of whom have been burning together since 2011. Core members in Reno, LA, NYC, and Portland. We've been a placed theme camp since 2014 or 15 (memory is hazy), and we're responsible for projects like the Philosophy Booth and richROT the burner robot. Some of our former interns continue to camp with us today. Chill Pills is our biggest project to date and we need all the help we can get.

Thanks to everyone who applied to the Corporation Chaos Summer Internship Program 2022! Unfortunately, the Summer Internship Program has now filled our slots for this summer. Due to a filing error we accidentally sent acceptance letters to two dozen applicants, and our lawyers insist that we are now contractually obligated to provide accommodations for all of them. Amnesty International is currently scrutinizing our planned system for a stack of wire cages to house this cohort, but I've been assured by the recent Oscar-winning film Dune that urine recycling is a viable strategy in desert climates. In any case, there will be no additional room within the placed boundaries of Corporation Chaos for additional interns. Any attempts to approach the compound by unauthorized burners will be swiftly met with our force of robotic police dogs.

Good luck finding tickets you sick fucks!
