Intervals Festival — the largest international multimedia art festival in the world, held in Nizhny Novgorod since 2017. It features an urban media exhibition, educational programs, music, and performance events.
We promote media art, collaborate with artists from around the globe, and support young talents. The festival is centered around working with new mediums that transform artistic language and ways of seeing and perceiving today's world. Intervals Festival focuses on art that emerges from a dialogue with technology and the real environment.
In 2026, the festival will be dedicated to signs and symbols. The program will cover key urban spaces—from industrial sites to historic districts—inviting the audience to immerse themselves in the city as a system of signs, symbols, and images.
A sign is a functional code of communication that sets the conditions for interaction. Its action is instantaneous and encompasses a large number of people.
A symbol is an image, often very personal, that carries feelings, memory, and attitude. It is not limited by form or time.
Sign | instantaneous code, function, language
Symbol | timeless image, attitude, experience
What can happen at the intersection of sign and symbol? Letters lose their utilitarian function and transform into images, architecture begins to "sound," and interfaces create bodily experiences. The connection of two worlds creates new situations where literal meanings transform into systems of images and form new ways of communication through art.
The festival views the city as an infrastructure of meanings: a network of signs and symbols (physical and digital) that governs perception and shapes collective memory. Artistic works intervene in this network, altering connections and creating new routes of perception.
