Some recent editions

The 2010 edition transformed the colony character of the festival's past events into an academy: emerging artists participated in a 10-day festival workshop led by international guest professors such as Gary Cass (University of Western Australia), S. Chandrasekaran (Head of the Department of Fine Arts at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Singapore), and Raphael Di Luzio (New Media Programme, University of Maine, USA). Artists from 12 countries on 4 continents participated, including those from Italy, Slovenia, Germany, Spain, Slovakia, Hungary, Switzerland, USA, Singapore, Australia, Finland, and Ireland. Beti Bricelj, BridA (Tom Kerševan, Sendi Mango, Jurij Pavlica), Dušan Fišer, and Tanja Špenko represented Slovenia.

The 2015 edition adopted the concept of a Wunderkammer and featured numerous workshops, performances and screenings as well as nine group exhibitions or individual artistic interventions that remain open throughout the summer. The artists invited by Jernej Forbici and Marika Vicari include Fernando Prats, Hannah Collins, Ann & Patrick Poirier, Perino & Vele, Dragoljub Raša Todosijević, Zoran Todorović, Hongbo Li, Zhang Qiushi, Lei Wang, Tina Dobrajc, Goran Bertok, Boštjan Novak, Tomaž Plavec, and others.
