Festivals of New Media Art are evenly distributed throughout the entire Slovenia. In the Gorizia region, bordering Italy, Nova Gorica Arts Centre organises Pixxelpoint International Festival of Contemporary Art Practices since 2000, that was first mostly focused on Computer Art and later broadened its interest field on contemporary technologies at the intersection of art, culture, science and technology. At the Slovenian coast, the contemporary arts Festival IZIS takes place with interests along the same axis as Pixxelpoint and has expanded greatly since its inception in 2013.

In the eastern part of the country, the prominent event is the KIBLIX Festival of Arts and Technology in Maribor that has been run by KIBLA Multimedia Centre since 2002. At the beginning it was devoted to Linux, nowadays focusing widely on the issues of information technology, open code and open society, with a focus on the education program.

It is set as a collaborative project that exhibits the prominent international and domestic new media artists along with students work from various European new media-focused academy programmes and gives great emphasis on the collaboration of art and science with the economic sector.
