A fake startup called Whispr, offering 'Silence-as-a-Service,' was created as a parody of Silicon Valley's obsession with productivity and clarity.
The Whispr platform implemented silent productivity, replacing meetings with ambient presence and using fake metrics like Neural Quietude Indexâ„¢ and Void Engagement Coefficient.
The experiment led to requests for the Whispr SDK, inquiries about its availability, and offers for brand collaboration, blurring the line between parody and reality.
Whispr sheds light on the noise economy in tech and the social theater of work, showcasing how silence can reveal the underlying rituals and mysticism present in the industry.
