The Artistic Program deadline has been extended to Friday, December 12th.   You have a few more precious days to submit to NIME 2015!
Artistic Program 
Call for Performances 
We invite submission of proposals for performances and installations. Proposed performances should have a clear connection with the substance of the NIME conference. We expand the notion of NIME in the performance program to include the exploration of existing
 interfaces into new sounds, new methods, or new ways of being physical. These performances might re-insert the body into digital performance, or they might suggest new modes of performing and the presentation of live music that go beyond existing practices
 while exploiting the unique affordances of interfaces and technologies.
We encourage submissions that explore:
 Novel and exploratory use of interfaces in performance
 Both old and new interfaces
 Use of innovative, imaginative and creative methods.
We invite you to consider fully what a performance can be: you should go well beyond demonstrating the interface and we will consider any performance that is in the realm of live, electronically-produced sound, where an interface is central to the realisation
 of the music.
Special Call  Digital Media Center Theatre 
The LSU Center for Computation & Technologys Digital Media Center Theatre is a custom-designed immersive audio and video environment. The theatre hosts a Christie 4k digital projector, and a
 Meyer Constellation sound system, with 71 discrete channels and up to 40 directlyaccessibleaudiochannels. Weareinterestedinperformancesthatuse4kvideoand/or massively large loudspeaker arrays as essential components of the work. Also, demonstrations or papers
 that address massively large loudspeaker arrays are welcome.  For more detailed specifications visit

Call for Installations 
NIME 2015 seeks installation and sculptural work to showcase at several locations in Baton Rouge. The theme for all venues will focus on an amalgamation of NIME topics listed below. Special consideration
 will be given to projects that embody a combination of qualities that are visual, aural, and tangible. Submitted proposals will be subject to a peer review process by an international expert committee. Installations picked to be shown at the LSU Digital Media
 Center will be exhibited during the length of the conference. Installations picked to be shown at the LSU Museum of Art and the LSU Glassell Gallery will be invited to be part of a longer exhibition spanning a month. These pieces will be shown alongside several
 invited sound artists whose work addresses NIME.
Scientific Program
