Cyberpipe (Template:Langx) was a hackerspace in Ljubljana, Slovenia, established in 2001[1] as a part of the K6/4 Institute. After a breakup with the parent organization and moving to a different location in 2013, it ceased most operations in 2015.

The hackerspace operated as a cultural center, computer laboratory, and Internet café (with free wireless access) at Kersnikova 4, Ljubljana. Kiberpipa engaged primarily in open-source programming, electronic art, and the recycling of computer devices.[2] Between 2005[3] and 2013 it also hosted a small living computer museum.[4]

The mostly volunteer team in the hackerspace organized workshops, lectures, and entertainment and information events, with around 150 events yearly at the height of its activity.[5]

In 2013, the Student Organization of University of Ljubljana, the owner of the building where Kiberpipa originally operated, decided to re-purpose the building as a restaurant and a parking garage. After failing to negotiate a new position within the organization, Kiberpipa team opted to continue operating independently of the Student Organization and moved to a new location.[5] In the same year, the Student Organization opened its own hackerspace Rampa.[6]

In 2014, Kiberpipa re-opened at a new location at Gosposvetska 2 using volunteer work and donations.[7] It continued to organize lectures and open source software-related events at the new location until closure in 2015. In 2015 a web server malfunction also resulted in the loss of the Kiberpipa website and archived content.[8]

As of December 2022, there is a re-newed effort[9] to revive Cyberpipe with monthly gatherings.[10]

Kiberpipa organized the bi-annual HAIP Festival (Hack/Act/Interact/Progress Festival).

Kiberpipa was a member of the m3c Multimedia Centres Network of Slovenia.
