The HAIP Festival (HAIP is an abbreviation of Hack/Act/Interact/Progress) was launched in 2004 by Cyberpipe and features a range of multimedia art forms and creative practices developed from the fusion of technology, entertainment, politics and art. 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. Artists and groups presented at HAIP interact critically with the technology and mostly use open and free technologies, be it a practical or ideological choice. Thus passive consumers, who only care that the technology works, should be stimulated to reflect upon how they communicate, and who tells them how to connect, interact, protest or participate. HAIP includes exhibitions and installations, workshops, a forum (presentations/symposium), audio and visual performances, and five days of networking, fun and partying. Festival venues include Cyberpipe, Klub K4, Rog, Gospodarsko razstavišce, Cafe Metropol and Ljubljana Railway Station.

The main theme of HAIP 2006 was the new freedom of artistic expression in open source media through networking. It focused on the new art of free digital media and new media content, whilst placing special emphasis on the technical and legal aspects of free access to new digital media. The festival presented Slovene artists and arts groups such as Borut Savski, Luka Princic, Slavko Glamocanin, Boštjan Špetic, Mould and Err0r group, together with international guests from Spain (Rama Costentino), Austria (Time’s Up, FunkFeuer, Monochrom), Switzerland (Metafor), United Kingdom (Gabriel Finch), Peru (Rodrigo Derteano), Japan (Kentaro Fukuchi), Germany (Frank Barknecht), Germany (Daniel Fischer working with Slovene artist Stefan Doepner), India (Shaina Anand) and Serbia (Bob Miloševic).
