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 I.D.I.O.T Magazine 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 2008 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 the critical student magazine Tribuna. I.D.I.O.T publications are also accessible online, where they are joined by a regular stream of other curious content.

With live literature manifestations the authors have so far toured across Slovenia to venues in (Klub Menza pri koritu, ŠKUC Gallery, Pekarna Cultural Centre, Museum of Madness), and also abroad (European Poetry Slam in Berlin). Selected poems of the group members are also published in German, English, and Croatian. They perform in various multimedia contexts and creatively fuse their literary endeavours with the radio medium on a regular basis at. Radio Študent.

Together with Young Rhymes, I.D.I.O.T has in 2015 set in motion Literodrom, a festival of the currently developing literary practices, as they call it.
