Šum is a Ljubljana-based journal focusing on contemporary art and theory-fiction, established in 2013 by a self-organized group of artists and theorists. Šum often collaborates with art institutions in Slovenia and abroad, responding to or accompanying exhibition projects or research concerns with special thematic issues and events, bringing to the projects a specific take or perspective of Šum's editors and writers. The 11th issue was published as part of the Slovenian pavilion at Venice Biennale. The journal is available online and in print and remains free of charge.

In collaboration with Projekt Atol, Šum runs Plaza Protocol and co-organizes ARIA (Algo-Rhythmic Ideation Assembly), a summer school designed as a role-playing game.
