Hi all ,

So disgusted with Felipes comment “never ending end of the world “ in this one sentence you just totally showed me what an egotist you are .

The last 3 years anyone who stayed silent or has not changed their practice while rabid dogs continue to set a precedent for AI enabled destruction and infliction of humanitarian suffering is no longer a player . And yes I’m gonna decide that .

So keep inventing and pretending to be the alternates who will eventually save the world . You had your chance . Sorry but the Lego video makers and Pakistan the country hosting peace talks now are the ones that gonna shift the narrative now.

Atteqa

Still we have been working since a few years contributing to Hack2o : https://hack2o.eu/ . The project includes an online forum and several methodologies, do you think it could be a basis for a contribution in Mar cas Coisas?

>> I hope all is well with each and every one of you. Writing this email for many reasons - first of all, a curiosity to know how you guys are doing, how you are surviving the never-ending end of the world. Then to share some personal news. And finally announcing some new stuff. It's also a very ego-centred exercise in old-school digital socialising and seeking for collaboration.
>>
>> So, for starters - what are you up to? In these last couple of years there were some email exchanges here - the Brico list seems to have turned from stormy waves into slower and longer tides, but we're all still around, somehow. Still, it's always a good thing to ask people again and again what they're doing. We're all different from the days of our broader meetings.

>> Apropos, I'll write a bit more about the nexus pixelache - Brazil below. But let me just share my lifelog here too. As you may have read (in this mailing list or elsewhere), in 2019 I moved to the UK and later to Berlin. I finished my PhD, met some of you along the way, and joined a network/nonprofit called GIG - active in international collaboration on social innovation. It's been a period with many challenges and accomplishments. But I'm returning soon to Brazil. There's more than one motivation for that, but the most important is that my kids - now 15 and 11 years old - moved back there last year. So, this June - one month before completing 7 years in Europe - I'll be back in my terra. I'll settle again in Ubatuba, will hopefully keep collaborating with GIG, and would hope to keep building bridges to enable all brico-members to visit us there - to exchange, help, have fun, chill.

>> After that Pixelache 2013 co-curated by Bricolabs (https://www.pixelache.ac/archive/2013 <https://www.pixelache.ac/archive/2013>), some of us organised the first the Tropixel festival in Ubatuba. Over the years since, we had many other editions: from small gatherings to international events, as well as becoming a relatively active and permanent online group since the times of COVID.
>>
>> As I come back to Brazil, my plan is to organise what I'm calling Tropixel Cycles: a series of events in multiple formats to keep discussing and building cooperation. The first one I can talk about and invite you guys - and whoever else you recommend - to send proposals to is the Ciclo Tropixel Mar das Coisas. I'm organising it with Fabi Borges from LACO / IOUSP. The idea is to discuss, build alliances and experiment with arts-science alternatives to address watershed pollution and marine litter.
>>
>> The event will be from Jul 30th - Aug 1st. Here's a bit more about it and a submission form:
>> https://mardascoisas.tropixel.org/ <https://mardascoisas.tropixel.org/>
>>
>> This time, it's a completely self-funded gathering - we unfortunately can not pay for travels or anything like it. But it would be great to find ways to think of what we can do together - if not in July, at some point in the future.
>>
>> Also - I'm still in Europe until June. I'd love to meet nice people before bringing my life back to Brazil. Current itinerary is Utrecht this week for Impakt.nl, an event in Madrid on May 1st and 2nd, and the GIG week around re-publica in Berlin in May. I'll probably be near Lisbon for the rest of these months (but am open to invitations as well).
