The story
Nizhny Novgorod Intervals Festival in Nizhny Novgorod
Intervals is an annual international multimedia art festival in Nizhny Novgorod, growing from a 2015 audiovisual party thrown by the Svetofon collective into a formal festival by 2017. It stages large-scale media installations and audiovisual performances on historic building facades and inside repurposed industrial spaces across the city center.
Intervals began not as a planned festival but as a single party: in 2015, the Nizhny Novgorod collective Svetofon threw an event where music was paired with an accompanying audiovisual show, and the collaboration between visual artists and musicians that emerged that night became the seed of something larger.
