Multimedia Institute (short: MI2]; original in Croatian: Multimedijalni institut) is a non-profit association based in Zagreb, founded in 1999 and working at the intersections of culture, arts, technology and activism.

Activities
Since its early days it has organized around a multi-facetted community that weaves together interests in diverse cultural and social fields: 1) critically inflected digital arts, film, music and literature; 2) digital commons: free software, free culture and open access; 3) philosophy and theory; 4) cultural networking, advocacy and grass-root organizing; 5) protection of public domain and struggles for spatial justice (#PravoNaGrad).

Locally it is mostly identified with the social and cultural center MaMa (initially as: net.culture club) in Zagreb (opened since May 14th 2000), where it’s organizing cultural, educational and technology programs, hosting a local hacker community and providing an open venue for other cultural initiatives. But it is also the co-organizer of Human Rights Film Festival, electronic music events, publishing activities and the Croatian localizer of Creative Commons licenses.
