Collective Attachments and Community Responsibilities:

This workshop invites members of the NIME community to join structured, collective reflection, and to discuss the consequences of our research, the values that it conveys, and to make a first step towards imagining what a redirection of NIME research could look like in mid- to long-term trajectories towards sustainability.

This full day workshop is organised by members of the NIME Environmenal Committee, and is an adaptation of the Atelier SEnS. We aim to explore ways of knowing and ways of theorising NIME research that are less inclined towards innovation, and together move beyond questions of individual responsibilities and try and make larger scale community reflections. For more details on how we will facilitate and guide this, see the workshop agenda.

We invite you to submit short value statements with reflections on values in your own practice and research, and whether or how your research contributes to building a world that corresponds to your values. These can take the form of text, music, other multimedia, poetry, drawings etc. Submissions are due June 9 23:59 AoE. Difficult, ambivalent and open-ended reflections are welcome.
