On behalf of the NIME 2006 Committee, we would like to invite you to

Expression

conference, organized by IRCAM (Centre Pompidou) in collaboration with
the

MINT-OMF (Sorbonne University) in Paris.


The conference will be held in conjunction with IRCAM's annual Festival

of Performing Arts Agora and the Music Technology Convention
Résonances,

joined for the first time in 2006 to form a single event running from

June 1st to June 17th.


NIME 06 will provide a unique opportunity to confer with an
interdisciplinary

audience of artists, scientists and technologists on the latest
developments

in musical interface design and musical expression.

The meeting will also offer the possibility to network with a
flourishing

local scene of interface and instrument makers, research labs, and
computer

music institutions.


We would like to encourage contributions in the following formats:

SPECIAL SESSION ON VIOLIN-BASED AND VIOLIN-INSPIRED INTERFACES


We encourage the submission of papers to be presented in a special
session on

violin-based and violin-inspired interfaces.


The purpose of this special session is to create an opportunity for
in-depth

discussions on a topic of wide-ranging interest to several of the NIME
themes.


Papers for the special session will be subject to the same review
process as

the other submissions.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIVE PERFORMANCES


An evening concert during the conference will be dedicated to live
performances

hilighting creative use of interactive instrument technology.


We welcome proposals for performances to be featured in the NIME 06

concert.


Please refer to the NIME 06 web page for detailed submission
requirements.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INTERACTIVE INSTALLATIONS


Various spaces in and around the conference venue are reserved for
interactive

sound and multimedia installations.


We welcome proposals for interactive installations to be presented

during the conference. We particularly encourage installations that
could

run during the entire period of Agora/Résonances from June 1 to June
17.


While some of the spaces are closed rooms, others are open spaces such
as

entrance or stairs which encourage site-specific installations.

Dimensions and details about these spaces are available from the
organizing

committee. In all cases, the participant must provide their equipment
for

the installation.


Please refer to the NIME 06 web page for detailed submission
requirements and

descriptions of the provided installation spaces.
