Parallel Society 2026
6 and 7 march 2026
Lisbon Portugal

[counter cultural convergence]
​A next-generation gathering. A merging of [un]conference and underground rave.

​Rooted in internet culture, we bring together hackers and ravers, visionaries and radicals, to build a new cultural imagination.

​Collectively organised. Co-curated. Immersive. Human-first. Not-for-profit.

​A temporary autonomous zone where music, art, and technology converge.

​Remix society with us.

Beyond the Hackathon: Betting on Residencies as the New Infrastructure
From
traditional, high-volume accelerators toward immersive builder residencies.

Hackathon Sponsors are finally catching up to a counter-intuitive truth: blindly airdropping bounties to “sugar rush” hackathons more often does not produce long lasting effects for a protocol, and hackathons miss the project’s life and adoption. Strategy is pivoting from traditional, high-volume accelerators toward immersive founder residencies. While Protocols provide the capital, the ecosystem now requires a “Relational Infrastructure” to manage the challenges of team-forging. To the moon dopamine collaboration high’s do not have the medium or long term workflow resilience a solid founder team needs to bring projects to real world adoption before scaling is even possible.

"According to Kopimi all truths can be summarized in one
sentence: “The Internet is right.”

Though seeded in prehistory, Kopimi is rooted in the
future, and holds together a constantly vibrating avalanche
of knowledge that forms the foundation for a discussion
indifferent to the rippling changes of time and space. A
tumult where no one has the permission to keep silent, and
where we must speak to everyone and everything.
In attractive flocks, passionate swarms and boisterous
schools, we sow ourselves into new contexts and eras. This
book is a spontaneously organizing, clustering community
project with a single purpose – Kopimi shall be deepening,
propagating, and all-consuming. We want to reach further
into ourselves and into Kopimi. We want to penetrate further
into you, and into the future.
Our words shall, simultaneously, sound as foolishness upon
deaf ears and lovely caresses to those who see and hear,
but above all: They should bite firmly into you – and your
mom. This is a book for those of you who find yourselves in
the moment, but are looking for your way forward through
the ages."

My heart is breaking and and the same time full of admiration for Sams unwavering mission, here is a story probably never been told more true from the projects we set out to do. And yes we never choose the easy path, but let's get together to see how we can join forces to make each project happen... Together! Posting the story with clear asks and needs at the end. How can we organize to create maximum impact. Maybe this is the sign for many to roll up sleeves and jump in.

DARK U//CONFERENCE
10-12 April 2026
Prague

Decentralized. Disobedient. Alive.
First of many. Limited and intimate. Focused on real dialogue.
Become the schedule, become the change.

DARK U//CONFERENCE is a small participatory gathering exploring decentralization, digital autonomy, privacy, governance, and community-led systems. No stages. No audience. No passive attendance.

Everyone who joins contributes. With an idea, a question, a practice, or a session. Some are prepared in advance. Others emerge on the spot.

This is not a conference to consume. It’s a space to show up, think together, and take part.

Social Tech Hackathon
9–10 May 2026
Komoro, Nagano Japan + Online

We can build what we need, together.


There's a growing recognition that the crises we face, isolation, eroded trust, hollowed-out communities, aren't just structural; they're relational. And the digital tools we have to connect people have largely been optimized for the wrong things: attention over presence, scale over depth, engagement over care.

​This hackathon starts from a different premise. What happens when you build social tools rooted in real places, shaped by real relationships, and tested against the actual texture of a community?

Komoro is our testing ground. The Akiya Collective makerspace is our workshop. We want to hear from Komoro locals about what tools could support belonging and coordination here. Especially in a small community navigating depopulation and change.

Projects that serve the collective's mission can be adopted and put to real use, with potential residencies and ongoing collaboration through Akiya Collective's social R&D lab.

The format

Two days. Small teams. Build something, test it, share what you learned. No pitch decks, no venture framing. Just prototypes accountable to real people and real communities.
Final share-back is Sunday evening.

Join us online

We're keeping the remote track intentionally small. Twelve spots for people anywhere in the world who want to participate, form teams, and present alongside in-person attendees.

“The Beat of the Roots”
12 April, 2026
5:30 PM At the small park in Piazza Fontana, Rorà
Stone Oven House - Tashina Mende @tashina_mende

A participatory pantomime performance for adults and children with and by Tashina Mende. Duration: 30 minutes. Free entry, donations welcome.
In today’s frantic, self-centered, and materialistic world, we often lose touch with our origins, with our mother (Earth), and with ourselves. How can we reconnect with our roots, with our origins? How can we reconnect with others? How can we reconnect with ourselves? Trees can communicate through their roots and fungi — perhaps we human beings can do the same. If so, how?
