The aim of this paper is to investigate the construction of an "intelligent collective", capable of direct action and self-organization, using the methodology of the Enlarged Community of Research and Action as a pilot project, within the Center for Fighting within the Anti-Asylum Movement of Rio de Janeiro, between August and October 2008. Here is the result of three meetings following this pattern. We conclude that the pilot project was successful since the goals were partially achieved, but more meetings would be needed to achieve them thoroughly. The participants were able of direct action in forwarding of the meetings due to a tacit organization among them: the "intelligent collective" proved possible.
