edition is *BLENDING DIMENSIONS: Inspiration and Challenge*. This theme
aims at inspiring the most unusual musical interactions in the space of
possibilities that lies between what is apparent and what is hidden. NIME
2019 welcomes those that are willing to take risks in creative processes,
fostering the connections between humans and computers, technology and art,
as well as the hemispheres of Earth.

We invite submissions of new works in the following categories:

   - Paper (oral/poster/demo)

*PAPER REVIEW PROCESS*

All paper submissions will be subjected to a rigorous double-blind
peer review process by an international committee of experts. All of
the submitted papers should demonstrate rigorous research methodology
and evaluated according to the following criteria:
   - novelty
   - scholarly/scientific quality
   - appropriateness of topic
   - importance
   - readability and paper organization

 The process is as follows:

Each paper submission will be assigned to at least 3 reviewers for
evaluation. A meta-reviewer will moderate a discussion amongst reviewers,
write a summary review, and recommend whether to accept the paper. The
paper committee will make the final decision on paper acceptance and will
inform the author(s) of their decision along with the reviewers’ comments.

Please note this review process is double-blind, meaning reviewers remain
anonymous to the authors and vice-versa. It is expected that authors
respect NIME’s Publication ethics and malpractice statement. <
http://www.nime.org/statements/>


*DEADLINE EXTENSION*

There will be NO EXTENSION to the paper submission deadline. However,
authors of registered papers on or before January 20th will be allowed to
upload new versions of their papers (in PDF format) until January 27th
(23h59 American Honolulu, Hawaii, time zone). No other changes will be
possible (i.e. authors will not be able to change title, abstract, authors,
keywords/topics, or other metadata). No registration of new papers will be
possible after January 20th, and no submission of new versions of
registered papers will be possible after January 27th.



*ARTISTIC PROGRAM*

*Call for Music*

We invite submission of proposals that showcase new interfaces for musical
expression in composition and performance.  We look forward to receiving
submissions that expand and reshape our understanding of NIME in the
performance, conceptualization, and reception of music. We encourage
submissions that respond to the conference theme of  *BLENDING DIMENSIONS:
Inspiration and Challenge.*

Please contact the Music Chairs <[log in to unmask]> with any questions
regarding the suitability of a potential NIME performance submission. We
will consider submissions of existing works as well as proposals for new
ones.

If a music submission is selected for performance at NIME, it is our
expectation that the proposing artists will be available to perform the
work on ANY day of the conference. The NIME 2019 organization is unable to
consider requests for musical performances to happen on specific days of
the conference.

Music proposals (compiled into a single pdf) should include:

   - A project description.
   - A description of technical requirements.
   - Short program notes.
   - A link to audio and, preferably, audio-visual documentation. The
   documentation link should use an unrestricted streaming service such as
   SoundCloud, Vimeo, or YouTube.

In addition, you will be asked to provide artist bio(s) as a separate entry
box in the online submission system.

Typical NIME performance pieces last for 5-15 minutes, but shorter and
longer performance proposals may also be taken into consideration. You must
consider the following aspects when preparing music performance submissions:

   - Space requirements: Indicate whether the work would be more suitable
for a traditional concert stage, gallery, club, public space, university
environment (hallways, staircases and indoor and outdoor plazas), or other
venue. For networked & web-based work, please include the technical
information and system requirements.
   - Performer(s): List any instrumental performers. Please note that the
organizers cannot provide funding to support any additional performers’
travel or accommodation. Within reasonable limits, we may be able to
provide musicians to perform pieces but this would be negotiated on a
piece-by-piece basis.
   - Feasibility: Provide evidence of the feasibility of the musical
performance. Include documentation and list of previous performances of the
submitted or related work that demonstrate the submitter’s capacity to
implement the proposal.
   - Collaborators: Include the names of all participants/submitters, with
a short bio for each (100 words).
  - All submissions must be anonymized, including, but not limited to
authors, references, and specific project names that can clearly identify
the author(s).
   - Submitted proposals will be evaluated by multiple adjudicators. Review
is double-blind.
   - Please note that the organizers cannot provide funding to support
performers' travel or accommodation at the conference.


*Call for Art Installations*

NIME 2019 will also provide several locations that can be used to exhibit
new music installation works. These are foyer location installations or
room-based installations in connection to the conference venues.

Submitted proposals will be subject to a peer review process by an
international expert committee. Documentation of the installations will be
available online after the conference.

In order to present an installation for NIME 2019, please submit a proposal
in the form of a PDF document, maximum 4 pages, containing the following
information:

   - The title of the work
   - Names of contributing artists
   - A clear description of the proposed installation that will provide
reviewers with a sense of its motivation and proposed realization.
Pictures, schematic diagrams and/or proposed floor plans would be helpful
here. You may also Provide any documentation of previous presentations of
this installation (if they exist)
   - Floor Plan & Logistical requirement: This should indicate requirements
for your installation including time required to set up, diagrams for space
utilization, networked needs, etc.
   - Feasibility: Provide evidence of the feasibility of the installation.
Include documentation and list of previous installations of the submitted
or related work that demonstrate the submitter’s capacity to implement the
proposal.
   - Provide a list of equipment required for the installation, clearly
indicating what you will bring and what you would require the conference
organizers to provide.
   - A link to audio-visual documentation (if available). The documentation
link should use an unrestricted streaming service, such as SoundCloud,
Vimeo, or YouTube.


*Installation Review Process*

All installation submissions will be evaluated by a review panel according
to the following criteria: originality, impact, creativity, technique,
presentation, and feasibility.


*CALL FOR NON-PAPER WORKSHOPS & DEMOS*

NIME 2019 welcomes the submission of workshop and demo proposals that are
not accompanied by a paper. These specialized workshops may be in any area
of the NIME themes or topics.

Unlike the workshop-papers and demo-papers available under the papers
category, workshops and demo proposals do not need to be anonymized and
will be curated by the conference committee based on their relevance to the
conference theme and feasibility. As a result, the feedback on these
curated acceptances and rejections will be limited.

The non-paper workshop proposals (compiled in a single pdf) should include:

   - One-page workshop description
   - One-page description of technical and space requirements
   - Workshop leader(s) bio(s)
   - A link to aural, visual, and/or online documentation. The
documentation link containing media materials should use an unrestricted
streaming service such as SoundCloud, Vimeo, or YouTube.


The non-paper demo proposals (compiled in a single pdf) should include:

   - One-page demo description
   - One-page description of technical and space requirements
   - Author bio(s)
   - A link to audio-visual documentation showcasing the technology and/or
activity to be demonstrated. The documentation link containing media
materials should use an unrestricted streaming service such as Vimeo, or
YouTube.


Best regards and look forward to seeing you at NIME 2019 in June 2019!!
