It was a joining of independent projects, the third sector, governmental, artistic and experimental to an international network of collaborators, searching above all to bring these different experiences to acknowledge each other. This year, it becomes an open festival, with lectures, production laboratories, fm radio broadcast, television, the Internet and the delicious chat with cachaça among @ll submiditics.

What to do? The program was clearly intended to support emerging physical spaces, not networks, as there were enough of those anyway. For much of that year the confusion only grew. In October 2005 a small conference called Submidialogia took place in Campinas, near Sao Paolo where a decentralized research network proposal was discussed. At first, a serious publication in Portuguese on Brazilian indy electronic pop culture appeared, but the momentum to found a center seemed to have passed away. The euphoric tactical media phase was over."> hi geert what confusion? also, we are still waiting for the publication to be released, since we haven't heard from the editors.. and yes the idea is not to form an unique physical center but a research network made of an infinite number of local physical spaces working collaboratively through different tools and the internet, sharing a common estatute. that is were we are concentrating our efforts right now. as much as submidialogia#2 -> http://submidialogia.descentro.org where initiatives from the northern reagions of brazil are going to connect. there we plan to build a common agenda for 2007. the work has just started! brazil is a continent! tactical media is on tour leaving behind the hype of the big cities, going deep local (thanks sarai)!</blockquote>
