NIME

The International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME) gathers researchers and musicians from all over the world to share their knowledge and late-breaking work on new musical interface design. The conference started out as a workshop at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) in 2001. Since then, an annual series of international conferences have been held around the world, hosted by research groups dedicated to interface design, human-computer interaction, and computer music.

This website is the permanent repository for NIME proceedings, serving as a historical record of past NIME conferences, a hub for sharing ongoing initiatives and governance within the NIME community, and a reference for planning documents and policies for future NIMEs.
