Another semi-fun and semi-sad project from artist/comedian Symin Adive (The Onion, Upright Citizens Brigade), “Adult Fun (No, Not Like That)” is about what fun looks like as an adult and what it could look like in an alternate world.
Unfortunately, when the word “adult” is affixed in front of words like toy, games, fun, or play, it suddenly creates a connotation — sexual or sinister. Adult toys. Adult games. But surely that can’t be the only way for a grown person to experience happiness…
Is wholesome, uncomplicated joy only for the young? How did we go from the wild unbridled unselfconscious joy of youth to muted reserves of adulthood? Is analyzing fun taking all the fun out of fun? Maybe, but if the fun’s already gone, maybe analyzing it can bring it back.
Your answers to this short questionnaire will help Symin make a project that addresses how we can make the most of adulthood.
