Launched in 2002 by KIBLA Multimedia Centre in collaboration with the Linux Users Group of Slovenia Association (LUGOS, established in 1997), the international open code KIBLIX Linux IT Festival was developed out of the so-called Linux Install Fest (LIFe), established in 1999. Since its inception the KIBLIX Festival has gradually developed in the contemporary art and education-related festival tackling the issues of information technology, open code and open society.
In the 2010 edition KIBLA Multimedia Centre joined forces with another two Slovene festivals dedicated to art and technology – the HAIP Festival and the International Festival of Computer Arts (IFCA). The 9th edition of the KIBLIX Festival, conceived by Miha Horvat, is dedicated to low technology, ecology, open code and waste. The Waste – Technology Minus programme brings exhibitions, presentations, fashion shows, workshops, and installations by international artists.
