MULTIMEDIA CENTER KIBERPIPA - LJUBLJANA
3 - 11 NOVEMBER 2008
HAIP is International
Multimedia Festival of Open Technologies and is organized by Zavod
K6/4 - open multimedia center Kiberpipa from Ljubljana. The HAIP Festival puts on display multimedia art forms resulting from
creative use of open technologies. HAIP is an acronym that stands for "Hack-Act-Interact-Progress". The festival features individuals and
groups with a critical approach towards the technologies that surround
us and shape our everyday environment. They generally use open
technologies, either as a practical or an ideological choice. Modern
practices of technology and creativity often refer to diverse
possibilities and choices at the individual's disposal - everybody is
involved in the social progress and development.
The main line of presentation will focus on new art of free digital
media - and the new media content that enabled it in the first place -
while laying special emphasis on technical and legal aspects of new
digital media with free access. The theme of the third biennal festival is Hacktopia and was selected with regards to the current time of political involvement in the changes of national strategies regarding the digitalization of mass media and the significant political, contentual and creative consequences thereof.
The focus tries to question the results of the actual practice of opensource-technology-supported creative media art and the dimensions of the freedom of expression inside it. Furthermore, it questions the (un)real, (un)realistic and (un)realized possibilities that are brought forth by the opensource and copyleft movements for the extent of justice, creativity, interactivity and progress of the sociotechnological society. The core question is: hacktopia at the continuum of utopia and dystopia. We can draw paralells between closed and open source. Where is the freedom of artistic expression in open source media? Last but not least we will try to open the arising questions of how can we hack the paradigms of society.
Festival will take place on several locations in Ljubljana featuring
exhibitions and installations, performances, public space
interventions in the centre of Ljubljana, lectures, club night and
round table.

S23X is a modified city bus. The bus will drive from Bolzano to

unfriendly waters of Italy, where their modified Stockholm city bus was
hosted by Manifesta 7 following a long ride of escalating privileges
from Stockholm to the Sudtirol. System 23 Exodus makes the first stop on
its way to the Oktobarski Salon in Belgrade at the HAIP festival. In
Ljubljana, S23X will engage in a series of technical disruptions and/or
