No, you are, because you must know a lot about (the technical side
of) music :-)
But I think it all started when I was about fourteen, had the real
flu with high fever, and kept playing Ravel's Bolero... knew each
turn by heart after that and my brain took a liking to repeat
patterns :-) The Bolero may well be one of the first steps towards
minimal music, I don't know.
Dance knows minimalism too, but to be honest I've never searched for
it in graphic art.
A bit of video dance for the weekend, not minimal but certainly
interesting:

This is the Taiwanese Cloud Gate Dance Theatre dancing on music by
Arvo Pärt.
And especially for you, an excerpt of Canto Ostinato by the very
aged but lively minimal piano music composer Simeon Ten Holt. My
favorite piece.
