The Art of Getting F*cked Up – a personal project exploring why we party and get faded

Hey party people 🌸

I’m doing my first creative project for which I need some external, human input about partying and getting faded. I’m a little nervous as this is my first time actually taking a long-thought-out idea and putting it into practice out there in public. So please be kind 💜

I love human behaviour, and have been really interested in party and drug culture for a long time. In this project I’m interested in understanding what makes partying enjoyable, what challenges it brings, and how it fits into daily life. This is not academic research, just a personal project that is still evolving. It could become a blog, podcast, or artwork, or maybe nothing at all, depending on the results and my confidence to make it public.

I often have drinks with friends at home or at a bar, or you can find me on the dancefloor of one of Berlin or Amsterdam’s clubs. I love getting faded, and I won’t deny that. But what makes us decide to have that extra cocktail or do that extra line, even when we know we’ll feel like absolute shit tomorrow? What makes it worth it? What is it that motivates us?

I made an anonymous form if you’d like to help out 🙂
