NIME 2024 invites submission of proposals that showcase New Interfaces for Musical Expression in performance and composition. We look forward to receiving submissions that expand and reshape our understanding of NIME in the conceptualization, performance, and perception of music.
We invite submissions of art installations on new interfaces for musical expression. We encourage authors to consider this year's conference theme. NIME 2024 will provide several locations that can be used to exhibit new music installation works. See at the bottom for more details.
Contributors should meet these basic criteria of anonymization:
All installation submissions will be subjected to a rigorous double-blind peer review process by an international committee of experts. All of the submitted installations should be works showcasing new NIMEs, new NIME technology, new ways of interacting with NIMEs etcetera.Each submission will be evaluated according to the following criteria: novelty in interaction, installation quality, appropriateness of topic, importance, ethical standards and presentation. There are no limitations or requirements concerning style. Artists should also familiarize themselves with the NIME statements on diversity and environmental issues.
Please note this review process is double-blind, meaning reviewers remain anonymous to the authors and vice-versa. It is expected that authors respect the NIME Ethical guidelines for NIME publications.
If you’d like to register as a NIME reviewer (or are unsure if you’re already a reviewer), please register as a reviewer using this form.
In order to present an installation for NIME 2024, please submit a proposal in the form of a PDF document, maximum 1500 words, containing the following information:
If an installation submission is selected for exhibition at NIME, proposing artists
are expected to be available to exhibit their work during the whole conference
starting with the workshop day (September 3).
Please contact the general chairs with any questions regarding the suitability of a
potential NIME performance submission with regard to the specific Utrecht venue situation.
NIME uses the CHI template for submissions.
You can edit it using LaTeX, or as a Word document.
Templates for both LaTeX and Word can be found here.
We recommend using a service like Overleaf to edit and complete your submission.
You can use the music template for installations as well.
Note: The deadline to create a submission is January 31, 2024. A PDF nor the performance is not required at that time.
You will then have until February 14, 2024 to upload your performance submission as a PDF, and complete your submission.
If your submission is accepted, these are the requirements for being included in the proceedings:
Your camera-ready submission and your video will be made publicly available.
The video upload for the proceeding submission should NOT be anonymized but be a close representation of the installation delivered at NIME and can contain footage of people interacting with the installation, footage from the design process, interviews, context and whatever is needed to give a good impression of the work for people following NIME online and later watchers of the archive.
The presentation format will depend on the author’s location and their ability to travel to Utrecht. In principle, art installations are showcased in Utrecht. However, depending on the submissions the organization will provide opportunities to present work online, either live, recorded or in a hybrid format, the latter is of special interest to the organization. NIME2024 will provide a number of different location opportunities for work to be presented in its optimal environment. These are as follows:
Please make sure in your submission to indicate which is your preferred venue (kind) for your installation and why.
Authors should also provide a documentation video of the installation for the online attendees. If an art installation is selected for exhibition at NIME and the proposing artists cannot attend the conference in person, we invite the artists to provide links and access that attendees can experience online.
Besides presenting your work at the conference, we want you to submit your work as a representative video submission as well that can be used for archival purposes and viewers online when a live stream is not possible.
All deadlines are 23:59 Anywhere on Earth Time Zone (UTC - 12)
