The Ragpicking DMI Design: The Case for Green Computer Music

Published:20 February 2022Publication History

ABSTRACT

This article introduces the idea of sustainable development of DMIs, discussing how fundamental concepts like e-Waste, Ragpicking and Green Computing can be (re)used to minimize or eliminate where possible the environmental impact of DMIs. The arguments and fundamentals for this initiative are presented, as also some examples to illustrate our ideas. Our intention is to contribute to the reflection by the Computer Music community on the subject.
