Works built as instruments or musical interfaces and published at NIME, where the argument is about mapping, agency and who can play without training. Because they are papers, they come with method and findings — these are the works usable as academic evidence rather than only as design precedent.

The group spans twenty-two years, from Tooka in 2004 to SampleRate and Projected Geometry in 2026, which makes it the place to look for how the question has moved.
