With various art activities including screening, mapping, audio-visual performance, exhibition and lecture, N- Minutes weaves video arts into urban life and interacts with the audience, enabling a new possibility of public art.
N-Minutes Video Art festival crée un événement interactif, un dialogue urbain entre vidéo et usagers multiples de l’espace public. L’objectif est de libérer l’art, de le faire sortir du musée, en l’invitant dans la rue en encourageant ainsi le grand public à participer à des activités artistiques, pour aboutir à une multiplication des fonctions des espaces de la ville et donner une place à l’art dans la vie quotidienne.

Curator: Iury Lech (Spain)
Iury Lech is a trans-disciplinary creator that has developed his creativity working the last 30 years within the realm of music, video-art and literature, being part of the few pioneers in the Spanish electronic audio-visual scene that began to use visuals on their sound performances. His open and unclassifiable style permeates the tired avant-garde concept by means of a dense audiovisual texture that brings lively hypnotic atmospheres and an alternative way to conceive experimentalism. Among his last numerous productions on these disciplines, it should be noted the Kinetic Pictures for the video art masterpiece Dye a V(east) (2006-07) and Domesticated Domestic Demons (2011-12), a 7-channel video-installation recently exhibit at the DAFT Festival in Taipei, Taiwan (2012); the sound sculpture cd work Instorments; or his book “The encapsulated image: Video Art as a spiral,” (2009), an essay on the contemporaneity of this artistic discipline.
His video-art works, for which he also composed the soundtracks, as well as his live perfomances, involves a multimedia stage set which, in addition to different image treatments, makes the most of interactive and sensorial immersion technology.
He showed his video-art pieces and played at many venues and events such as Ars Electrónica, Art Futura, ISEA, SONAR, Video Festival Videoformes, Festival of New Musics of Madrid and Sevilla; the experimental cycle LEM in Barcelona; the Knitting Factory in New York; the Pop Komm Festival or the Festival Experimenta in Madrid.
On May 2013 the 2nd Izmir Art Biennial in Turkey invited him as an official artist, where the jury awarded him with the prize for the best Video Art installation.
On the other side of his creative facet, we can point out his task as producer and director from 2008 of the weekly television program Transfera, specialized in the broadcast of audiovisual art, as well as the directiom, curatorship and programming of MADATAC, the INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL OF CONTEMPORARY AUDIO-VISUAL & NEW MEDIA ART, and independent project initiated on 2009.
During 2013 he was invited as a jury member of Videoformes Fest (France) and MAshRome Film Fest (Italy).
