Cove-Flor ""global artistic minicommunity" is an organisation in Curitiba.

The Southamerican Dance Network brings together dance groups, individuals and artists from all over South America.

Mídia Tática is the name of the emergent group around which the Mídia Tática Brazil festival was organised. It was formed by members of other networks. After the Mídia Tática Festival, it was responsible for the Autolabs project and its closing event, Findetático.

Estúdio Livre is a network of practitioners and activists whose focus is in free- and open-source software for media production. It started in Curitiba as a proposal for the creation of one Ponto de Cultura, and was soon part of the Cultura Digital methodology itself. One of the greatest outcomes of the close relationship it had with Cultura Digital is an information-rich website with documentation in Brazilian Portuguese about free media, an open-licensed gallery and projects such as a residency of some of its members in Hangar (Barcelona).

The motto of Submidialogia is “the art of re:volving knowledge logos by practices and disorienting the practices by the immersion in sub-knowledge”. This has been an influential conference which relates strongly to the locality and context within which it happens and radiates out to participants elsewhere (through documentation and webcasting) and also welcomes international visitors as participants etc.

MetaReciclagem is an open network with members in all regions of Brazil. It carries out in a de-centralized fashion dozens of projects and actions regarding the appropriation of technology (low-tech) and of media production as a participative methodology for education, social engagement and innovation. MetaReciclagem has been responsible for establishing more than a dozen autonomous labs, as well as implementing large-scale government ICT4D projects.
