Established in 2008, the Speculum Artium Festival is an annual venture into the field of new media arts and contemporary techno-culture that takes place in the industrial town of Trbovlje. Delving into territories such as information technology, robotics, bio-mechanics and virtual reality, the festival tries to act as an intermediary between art, technology and society.
A part of the Trbovlje, New Media Setting initiative, Speculum Artium is organised by Delavski dom Trbovlje Cultural Centre (DDT). As of 2010, the festival runs a special sub-programme – the video art festival DigitalBigScreen.

Cirkulacija 2 is a transdisciplinary art collective that was founded in 2007 and which is dealing with longer-term practices in the area of contemporary technological art. They use different media approaches (radio, television, video, robots, mechanisms, devices ...), visual elements, and sound for an artistic expression.
The collective is socially engaged and had been situated in Tovarna Rog in a defunct heating station, which also provided the inspiration for the group's name. The permanent members are Stefan Doepner, Borut Savski, Jakob Hariš and Boštjan Leskovšek. They ironically declare their art as "Male Art" and actively cooperate with many other artists as Expanded Cirkulacija 2.
In 2014 Cirkulacija 2 moved to larger premises of the former wholesale shop in the defunct Tobacco Company (Tobačna) complex. In 2019, they had to move of these premises and in 2020 found a semi-temporary venue and production space in the Ajdovščina Underpass.
