From May 12 to June 2, the New York Electronic Arts Festival (NYEAF) will be showcasing exhibitions, concerts and workshops. It's great to see a venue which supports the growing community of New York-based electronic artists and organizations. The programming has appeal for veterans in the genre, as well as the interested but uninitiated.

The NYEAF concert series offers a broad range of participants, from the 80s / 90s alt-pop band They Might Be Giants, to electronic musician Luke DuBoise and the violinist Mari Kimura. The festival also offers a Sensors Workshop and a Robotics and Music Workshop on June 6th.

The festival is followed by the "New Interfaces for Music Expression" (NIME) conference, which runs from June 6 - 10. This year's conference will focus on Music & Robots. Along with workshops and papers on the subject, the keynote speaker is the sound artist Trimpin.
