The ninth edition, in 1992, marked a turning point for the Festival. The exhibition was now an internationally recognized event, joining SESC-SP in an enduring and essential partnership. For the first time, the Festival took place in SESC Pompéia. Thanks to a record-breaking budget, retrospective shows by two of electronic scene’s most prominent artists were brought to Brazil: Bill Viola, from the United States, and Gianni Toti, from Italy. The exhibition, now larger and more comprehensive, became biennial, establishing once and for all its status as an electronic art event, the first one of such proportions in Brazil, and the most important one in the Southern Hemisphere. The jury included big names of international video production, such as Julien Temple, from England, and foreign guests, included Barbara Hammann, from Germany, who presented an installation, and Jérôme Lefdup, from France, who ran a workshop.
