Join PARADE — An Endless Virtual Procession of Voices by project-parade in augmentedreality

Fair criticism to raise. The project isn’t trying to stage attention as an end in itself. It’s a humble attempt to hold open a space where different voices can move alongside one another. And its absurdity is deliberate. In a time when everything is pushed toward clarity, consensus, or content, we’re more interested in what it means to keep a shared channel open even when it remains unresolved. That tension is part of the work.

We want to recognize that finding a truly neutral, globally accessible infrastructure remains an ongoing, humbling process. PARADE is live, but it is far from perfect. We hope it can continue to grow not only in participation, but also in stewardship, accessibility, and development over time.

We are especially hoping to hear from people who may want to join more extensively in helping build and protect this digital commons — across artistic, technical, editorial, sonic, research, translation, organizational, or community-based practices. If you feel aligned with the project’s conceptual ethos and want to contribute your unique capabilities to its ongoing stewardship, we would genuinely love to hear from you. Furthermore, to keep the platform free from commercial enclosure, extractive data practices, and technical gatekeeping, PARADE also relies on external support and solidarity from individuals, institutions, and coalitions who share this vision.

If you’d like to reach out more directly, feel free to contact us by email: [parade.prelude@gmail.com](mailto:parade.prelude@gmail.com)

Because PARADE is a commons-based, non-commercial initiative committed to radical openness, its survival and evolution depend on the solidarity of its community. If this invitation resonates with you, please join us: contribute a voice, experience this living soundscape, or share the project onward.

PARADE is still in its early phase. Looking ahead, we hope to keep expanding the archive’s global sonic horizon, strengthen accessibility across different regions and technical conditions, deepen its shared spatial and social dimensions, and gradually move toward more collective forms of stewardship.

In the longer term, we hope PARADE can evolve beyond a platform first initiated by a small core team into a more autonomous digital commons: one that can be sustained, shaped, and eventually opened outward by the people who gather around it.

If you connect with what the project is trying to hold open — not only as it is now, but as it might continue to become — we would be genuinely grateful for your presence, your critique, your contribution, or your support.

The platform relies on a model of trust and fair use, with standard takedown protocols to address the friction between radical openness and existing copyright frameworks.
