Founded in 1988, the Festival  Les Instants Vidéo is an event dedicated to electronic poetry and media art, organized by L'association Les Instants Vidéo Numériques et poétiques.

We
are preparing the 25th
edition of the Festival Les
Instants Vidéo.

Les
Instants
Vidéo
is an event dedicated to electronic poetry with its multiple forms,
monobands, installations, performances, multimedia...

It
is all together a festival and a laboratory where international
renowned artists and works of arts can meet with works that are more
fragile, still in progress, delicates. In order to support real
encounters between works of art, artists and spectators, there is no
competition and the admission is free.

The
event is made of different spaces. The Poetronic Encounters take
place in La Friche Belle de Mai in Marseille (in November 2012).
Every year, this central part of the event welcome more and more
spectators, in a space we try to make as friendly as possible.

And
either before and after these dates, we act in concert with our
partners to organise the festival stopovers in other spaces in
Marseille, the area…and abroad. We name the whole stopovers a
poetronic constellation.

Every
year, the festival choose a title, but it is not at all a thematic.
It is more of a direction, that would express our current concerns.

We
will watch your work with attention, being aware that electronic
poetry is fragile, delicate, quivering…

Greetings
from the infinitely blue shores of the Mediterranean sea.
