The I.D.I.O.T Group is a Ljubljana-based "paraliterary" group of authors who engage in literary performances/readings involving poetry/prose and music as well as publish the biannual magazine I.D.I.O.T devoted to poetry, prose, theory, and drama – especially aimed at the young and not-yet-established authors of the 21st century. As stated in one of their slogans, the group "fights against bazookas with violins".

The Paraliterary Association I.D.I.O.T. was founded in 2003 and the core of the group consists of four authors (Jasmin B. Frelih, Tibor Hrs Pandur, Uroš Prah, Katja Perat) - with more than 15 "satellites" – occasional guest writers. I.D.I.O.T magazine has been published since April 2009, the third edition was published as a supplement of Tribuna magazine; a legendary student publication with progressive and critical reflections on society and youth.

With live literature manifestations the authors have so far toured across Slovenia to venues in (Klub Menza pri koritu, ŠKUC Gallery, Pekarna Cultural Centre), and also abroad (European Poetry Slam in Berlin). Selected poems of the group members are also published in German, English, and Croatian. I.D.I.O.T publications are also accessible online, the authors with their poetic interventions can be followed on Twitter.
