DVLV 9: CHROMA
What is a devolving party?
Devolving Party is a carefully engineered social experience brought to you by the world's leading party scientists. Guests arrive at 7:00 pm dressed for a black-tie party with polite conversation and classy jazz, but by dessert the music has already begun, slowly, to change. As the night progresses, the party slowly degenerates into an all-out rager.
An open bar will be available for the entire evening to ticketed guests.
This year, we also have a professional chef preparing a full dinner in-house for guests, included in ticket price.
One of the first graphics ever made to describe Devolving Party is this "Entropy Plot," depicting the change in universal chaos over time.
What does Chroma mean?
Chroma (from Ancient Greek χρῶμα) is a term referring to the intensity/saturation of a color.
Let it suffice to say that you will have a colorful evening.

Where?
Wear?
Please come dressed in formal attire (culture/style of your choosing) with a change of clothes. We will make an instagram post with some example outfits (see our analogous post from last year). For the rager portion, you can wear duct tape for all we care.
This year differs from past years in one important respect: we have a stricter dress code. Please wear only black and/or white articles of clothing, with only silver-colored jewelry.
Fare?
Devolving is a strictly ticketed event this year. Please purchase a ticket to ensure yourself a spot.
Roots
The Devolving Party started small, in Room 427 of the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics in the Spring of 2015. Gaylord, S2pac, and Pulsifer crafted a well-balanced devolving playlist that was an instant success with their friends. Since then, the phenomenon has grown handsomely - to date, devolving parties have been thrown 10 times across three continents.
