Goldsmiths, University of London was this year’s NIME host. Getting off the train at New Cross Station, I was greeted by an eclectic array of students, professors, and citydwellers buzzing about a typical day on a college campus.
But Goldsmiths was anything but typical. The main streets offered more than its fair share of restaurants, pubs, and pigeons, but campus itself blended both stately, historic brick buildings and modern, expressive structures – certainly the ideal setting for a conference set to fuse the conventional and the unconventional, traditional and modern.
