We invite you to be part of the International Conference on New
Interfaces for Musical Expression. The core purpose of the NIME
conference is to present the latest results in design, development,
performance and analysis of/for/with new interfaces/instruments for
musical use. In 2011 we will put an extra emphasis on performance
aspects related to NIME, something which will also be addressed in a
symposium, workshops and master classes in the days leading up to the
conference.

CALL FOR PAPERS

We welcome submissions on all above mentioned (and other) topics
related to development and artistic use of new interfaces for musical
expression. There are three different paper submission categories:

- Full paper (up to 6 pages in proceedings, longer oral presentation,
optional demo)
- Short paper/poster (up to 4 pages in proceedings, shorter oral
presentation or poster, optional demo)
- Demonstration (up to 2 pages in proceedings)

All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

CALL FOR PERFORMANCES

We welcome submission of pieces for three different types of performance venues:

- Concert hall performance
- Club performance
- Foyer "stunt" performance

Any type of NIME performance pieces are welcome, but we would
particularly like to encourage the use of motion capture techniques in
performance. For this we can make available several different types of
motion capture systems (Qualisys, XSens, Optitrack, Mega). Network
pieces and mobile music pieces are also encouraged. Within reasonable
limits, we may be able to provide musicians to perform pieces.

CALL FOR PERFORMANCE PLUS PAPER

To support more cross-disciplinary work between scientific and
artistic research, we highly encourage submission of performance
pieces related to papers. Here the scientific presentation may be the
basis for the artistic presentation, or vice versa.

Submissions within this category will have to be done for both the
piece and the paper, with a clear note that paper and piece belongs
together. Evaluation will be done on the combined quality of both
submissions.


CALL FOR INSTALLATIONS

In connection with NIME 2011 an exhibition on sonic interaction design
will be curated in collaboration with the EU COST IC0601 Action on
Sonic Interaction Design (SID). For the exhibition we are looking for
works using sonic interaction within arts, music and design as well as
examples of sonification for research and artistic purposes. The
exhibition will take place at the Norwegian Museum of Science,
Technology and Medicine and run for three months over the summer 2011.
We also aim to include works in public spaces to be presented at
various locations in Oslo (possibly) for a shorter duration in
parallel with NIME.

This is a curated exhibition, and there is a possibility for funding
and assistance to be provided for selected artists. Note that there is
an early deadline for submissions within this category (5 November).
Further enquiries concerning the SID exhibition should be addressed to
the curators (exhibition@nime2011.org).

In addition to the exhibition, we also call for installations to be
presented during the NIME conference only. These may be foyer location
installations or room-based installations.

CALL FOR WORKSHOPS

We call for short (3 hours) or long (6 hours) workshops and tutorials.
These can be targeted towards specialist techniques, platforms,
hardware, software or pedagogical topics for the advancement of fellow
NIME-ers and people with experience related to the topic. They can
also be targeted towards visitors to the NIME community,
novices/newbies, interested student participants, people from other
fields, and members of the public getting to know the potential of
NIME.

Tutorial proposers should clearly indicate the audience and assumed
knowledge of their intended participants to help us market to the
appropriate audience. Workshops and tutorials can relate to, but are
not limited to, the topics of the conference. This is a good
opportunity to explore a specialized interest or interdisciplinary
topic in depth with greater time for discourse, debate, collaboration.

Admission to workshops and tutorials will be charged separately from
the main conference. Proposer(s) are responsible for publishing any
workshop proceedings (if desired) and should engage in the promotion
of their event amongst own networks. Workshops may be cancelled or
combined if there is inadequate participation.
