What we learned
This site collected two things during the Brasil Futures Forum: what people recognise of Brazil's cultural repertoire, and which sessions they saved to their own schedule. The numbers below are aggregates read straight from the database. None of them identifies anyone.
Collected 30 July – 16 September 2026
Recognition
The game shows one artefact at a time and asks whether you know it. Every answer is anonymous.
From inside and from outside
At the start of the game each person says whether they are Brazilian. This is the most interesting comparison in the set, and also the most fragile.
The difference is large, but it rests on 14 people from outside against 62 from inside. Read it as a hint, not as a measurement.

187 artefacts with at least 20 answers.
The least recognised
This is the useful list. Every item here is something Brazil projects that the audience has not found yet.
Where the two views diverge most
Only 79 artefacts got 10 answers from each group. That is too few to rank, so the table shows those 79 and stops there.
By collection
Average recognition within each collection of the archive.
Attention
People who built a schedule on the programme starred the sessions they wanted to see. The stars are anonymous: a schedule is a random token, with no name and no e-mail.
Stars by day
The first two days ran across the city's houses. The third happened entirely at the Museu do Amanhã.
Monday 24 August drew more stars than the other days combined.

How to read these numbers
Everything here is aggregate and comes from the tables the site itself writes. None of it is a representative sample of Brazil or of the forum's audience. The people who played are the people who passed through the site and felt like it.
Artefacts with fewer than 20 answers stay out of the tables. The inside and outside cut uses what each person declared, not the country they browsed from.
46 stars point at sessions the production spreadsheet renamed later. They count in the total and do not appear per session.
