Abstract:

The Latin American (LATAM) NIME Network was created in 2021 by a group of LATAM academics and artists. Since its creation the network has explored ways of bringing LATAM NIME practitioners together through various initiatives such as academic papers, workshops, gatherings and mentorship programmes. With this zine our aim is to share previous and upcoming works from members of the LATAM NIME community. We gathered the zine’s 13 entries through an open call in the LATAM NIME Community WhatsApp group. Contributors are artists, technologists, musicians, researchers, and educators from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico. The works featured range from digital musical instruments, software instruments, mobile applications and neural synthesis. These also explore decolonial perspectives, building upon ancestral rituals and Latin American narratives and traditions.
