The HAIP Festival (Hack/Act/Interact/Progress) was established in 2004 by Cyberpipe and is an open-source art festival. It is an international biennial festival that puts on display multimedia art forms of the young, promising artists and creative engineers who specialize in top-notch, open-standards-supported arts and multimedia art practices. Artists and groups presented at HAIP interact critically with the technology and use open and free technologies.

The main aim of HAIP is to establish a live and creative production platform, encouraging direct interaction with audiences and follow-up communication with participants. Haip is trying to connect local production with the international context and supports DIY - do it yourself culture.

The festival lasts a few days and includes exhibitions, lectures, workshops, audio and video performances, club events, presentations, video projections, round tables, space interventions, forum, party etc.

HAIP interactively presents a review of free creative use of technology in the visual, sound and mass media. With the discussions it is developing a theoretical in socio-reflexive context of creative and critical use of technology. Its international workshops are focused on different implications of free access to written, audio or visual information.
