>For those of you who want to share their discoveries and experiments with an
>international community of scientist and artists inventing new controllers
>for media expression, you should consider this conference (see CFP below).
>
>Although the primary focus is on designing interfaces for music, the
>conference is open to related topics like designing instruments for visual
>music, video controllers, media improvisation, intermedia performance, live
>cinema, etc.
>
>You can look at proceedings of previous editions to get an idea :
>www.nime.org
>
>I published last year a paper on Live Cinema which you might be interested
>in :

>NIME 2005 Call for Participation
>
>On behalf of the NIME 2005 Committee, we extend an invitation to you to be
>part of the New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference. Please join
>us at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada for the
>latest developments in musical interface design and musical expression
>presented in papers, performances, demos and installations. NIME 2005 marks
>the 5th conference on new musical interface design to follow the initial
>NIME workshop at CHI 2001, and subsequent international conferences held in
>Dublin, Montreal and Hamamatsu. As in previous years, NIME 05 will provide
>a unique opportunity to converge with an audience of like-minded artists
>and technologists from around the world.
>
>
>PAPERS
>
>We invite the submission of research papers, reports, and posters on
>topics related to new musical controllers including, but not
>restricted to:
>
> * Design reports on novel controllers and interfaces for musical
> expression
> * Surveys of past work and/or stimulating ideas for future
> research
> * Performance experience reports on live performance and
> composition using novel controllers
> * Controllers for virtuosic performers, novices, education and
> entertainment
> * Perceptual & cognitive issues in the design of musical
> controllers
> * Music and motion and/or music and emotion
> * Movement, visual and physical expression with sonic expressivity
> * Musical mapping algorithms and intelligent controllers
> * Novel controllers for collaborative performance
> * Interface protocols (e.g. MIDI) and alternative controllers
> * Artistic, cultural, and social impact of new performance
> interfaces
> * Real-time gestural control in musical performance
> * Mapping strategies and their influence on digital musical
> instrument design
> * Sensor and actuator technologies for musical applications
> * Haptic and force feedback devices for musical control
> * Real-time software tools and interactive systems
> * Pedagogical applications of new interfaces - Courses and
> curricula
> * Performance rendering system (RENCON)
> * Evaluation criteria for evaluating rendered music (RENCON)
>
>
>DEMOS
>
>We encourage the submission of demos, either as part of papers and
>reports or as standalone contributions.
>
>
>PERFORMANCES
>
>We encourage artists, performers and conference presenters to submit
>proposals for performances and live demonstrations that employ new
>musical controllers, novel interface concepts, and/or new mapping
>systems that can be featured in the concert events.
>
>
>INTERATIVE SOUND INSTALLATIONS: *new this year*
>
>At the University of British Columbia, we are creating a new high-tech
>atrium that contains a multichannel sound and video scape platform
>that will be complete by December 15, 2004. The space is intended to
>house interactive sound and video installation works. As an experiment
>for this year's NIME, we are soliciting for proposals for an
>Installation Track to create interactive installation works in this
>space. Please contact the installation track chair for more details
>about this facility or if you are interested in submitting for the
>installation track.
>
>
>IMPROV SESSIONS: *new this year*
>
>For the first time at NIME there will be semi-organized improvisation
>sessions where scientists, engineers, artists and performers can
>interact with one another. Different configurations and groups will be
>put together based on types of sensors used for gesture recognition,
>genre of sound-mapping, ethnomusicological controllers, rhythm vs
>soundscape controllers, interfaces with motors, etc. There will be 3
>Improv Sessions in the afternoons everyday during lunch and then a
>final jam concert party on the final night. For more information
>contact the Improv Sessions Chair, Ajay Kapur.
>
>
>WORKSHOPS
>
>There are two one-day workshops scheduled the day before the main
>conference:
>
> * Mobile Music
> http://hct.ece.ubc.ca/nime/2005/mobilemusic.html
> * Engineering and Music
> http://hct.ece.ubc.ca/nime/2005/engineeringandmusic.html
>
>
>IMPORTANT DATES
>
>Jan 15, 2005: Submission deadline (interactive sound installation
> proposals)
>Jan 31, 2005: Submission deadline (performance proposals, papers,
> reports, demos, posters)
