Trbovlje, New Media Setting (TNM) was set up in 2009 as a comprehensive and wide-ranging programme intended to establish a new-media-arts-sensitive culture in the former industrial town of Trbovlje and the wider Zasavje region. It aims to create a network featuring various protagonists from the arts and heritage scenes as well as with those working in science, technology and tourism.
The programme – and also the cultural association of the same name – is spearheaded by the Delavski dom Trbovlje Cultural Centre.

Trbovlje novomedijsko mesto je celovit in obsežen program, namenjen vzpostavljanju novomedijske kulture v nekdanjem industrijskem mestu Trbovlje in širši regiji Zasavja.
Activities
Among its main outlets are the international new media festival Speculum Artium and the accompanying festival DigitalBigScreen. TNM also sets up smaller exhibitions in the gallery of the Delavski dom Trbovlje Cultural Centre and at other festivals and exhibition spaces around Slovenia. In 2017, TNM opened up a virtual mining museum, called 4. Dritl.
Regular educational and cultural work with primary schools take place under the auspices of the project, as well as a high school course in "new media creativity". The enterprise has a long-term goal of co-establishing some sort of a new media arts academy.
TNM has established various connections with arts, research and education institutions all over Europe. Among them are the Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien and the University of Arts in Linz.
