Since 2000 CodeEP organises the traditional Festival Pomladi (Spring Festival), a festival of electronic music and visual arts initially situated at Tivoli Park in Ljubljana, which later moved to different locations throughout the city. CodeEP has also co-created several other festivals, such as Otokultivato at the island of Vis in Croatia, the Futura Festival in Sarajevo, and projectOUT in Helsinki.
Site-specific urban projects
CodeEp has co-organised a number of site-specific projects, among them, the ProstoRož project launched by a group of architects to revive the old city centre of Ljubljana, following the fashionable "revitalisation doctrine" of "urban renewal" in major world cities.
Similarly, Library under the Trees (Knjižnica pod krošnjami) was initially launched as a collaboration of Codeep, Divja misel and Azil Bookshop. CodeEp also organized Ljubljana - Belgrade Express festival and produced works of several Slovenian artists: Play VJ, Memory, RoboVox, FeedForward Cinema, Singing Bridges and many others.
Visual arts and design
From its very beginning, one of the Codeep’s missions was the promotion of urban art practices and design. Codeep’s design department is CodeSign. Codeep was one of the first organizations to promote VJ and urban visual culture in Ljubljana. Codeep also organised retrospective exhibitions such as the Chinese Political Poster, Yugoslav Political Poster and Atypeaks exhibition.
MoTA Museum of Transitory Art
In May 2008 a part of CodeEp collective devoted to art and research established MoTA – Museum of Transitory Art: a platform focused on visual, new media and experimental art and a residency program for artists, while CodeEp association remains devoted to music and urban culture. Following CodeEp principles of reviving degraded areas of the city by bringing art to those spaces that have been forgotten, MoTA expands this philosophy to a concept of a museum in space and time.
