Cyberpipe is a part of the K6/4 Institute and is a multimedia centre focusing on open source and other free technologies. Operating as a cultural and multimedia centre, computer laboratory and Internet café, Cyberpipe engages primarily in open code programming and the recycling of computer devices.

Cyberpipe is a contemporary-equipped open platform for experimental research of new ways of using technologies of digital production. It has about two hundred educational, cultural and artistic events and 60,000 visitors per year. The accessibility is enhanced even more with the Cyberpipe's online streaming and video archive. Most of the Cyberpipe team are the volunteers that are interested in technology, computers and art. Cyberpipe has a collection of video documents of its activities.


Background

Cyberpipe was established in 2000 under the slogan "all our code are belong to you" to encourage and develop open information society in Slovenia. It was a platform with contemporary equipment for education about computer science and modern information and communication technologies, and is still extending free wireless network in Ljubljana.

Venues

The premises Cyberpipe are situated in the centre of Ljubljana and consist of the main room, PostLab, classroom, screening hall, media production room etc.

  • classroom (20 m2): appropriate especially for computer education workshops; equipped with 8 computers, a board and a projector set
  • PostLab (20 m2): suitable for four people working on post-production

Cooperation

Cyberpipe co-operates with numerous organisations in Slovenia (the Slo-Tech and 3Delavnica teams, regional multimedia centres including Ljudmila - Ljubljana Digital Media Lab, KIBLA Multimedia Centre) and organisations abroad (Mama New Media Centre in Zagreb, HackLab in Pula for example). Cyberpipe is a member of the M3C Multimedia Centres Network of Slovenia and supports the Creative Commons project.

Programme and activities

Cyberpipe organises HAIP Festival (Hack/Act/Interact/Progress Festival), an international biennial festival that presents works of young or established artists and creative engineers who use open technologies to create multimedia art forms. It also runs a Gallery 404 (g404), which offers space for diverse digital art of emerging artist.

It organises also FreeForAll LAN Parties to play open code, free games of different genres (for example parties for the lovers of old PC games from 80s and 90s). It nourishes Err0r, a creative collective of people of various backgrounds engaged in experimental intermedia art and alternative ways of its distribution. The core members are Boštjan Špetič, Daša Lakner, Martin Hribar, Anže Veršnik and Andraž Tori.

Computer museum

Cyberpipe houses the first computer museum in Slovenia and organises many events or projects dealing with computer history. The museum is interactive so that visitors can use Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Atari 1040ST, Macintosh SE, IBM PS/1, IBM PC XT etc.

Educational events

Cyberpipe organizes all kinds of hands-on software workshops (Open Office, Linux, Blender, Tablix, Cinelerra, DTP, Mozilla Composer, Pure Data) and hardware (how to assemble a computer, circuit board production workshops, soldering workshop, workshop of producing wireless antennas etc.). The Pipini odprti termini (Pipe's Open Slots, POT) are weekly meetings (introductory lecture is followed by a discussion) of Linux and other open products users. They are led by Andraž Sraka and organised in collaboration with Lugos.

Other series of educational events include Spletne urice (SU) (Web Hours), weekly meetings of web professionals with presentations of current technology topics, and VIP - "evenings for innovative and enterprising people", organised in collaboration with LUI (Ljubljana University Incubator). The monthly meetings are proposed for people interested in selling new technologies and are moderated by Blaž Kos. The MobileMonday is a monthly event and connects mobile industry visionaries, developers and influentials and creates an informal community of people from 90 countries.

Cyberpipe also runs Net Art Pipe (NAP), which is dedicated to the exploration of computer-based art and to facilitating discussions on this topic. The programme also features so-called Open Dates - weekly meetings for information exchange - and a monthly LAMM (LinuxAudioMeetMe) that focuses on issues and sound/music production connected with the Linux platform.
