Transformation Digital Art 2022
The sixth International symposium on the preservation of digital art
Transformation Digital Art is a LI-MA symposium on ongoing research and practices in the field of media art archiving, documentation and preservation. Held online in March 2022, Transformation Digital Art was designed as an opportunity to share practices concerning both artist-led and institutional strategies geared towards conservation and future presentation of born-digital and software based art.
This edition revolved around the theme of collaborative knowledge building and sharing. The more knowledge gathered and presented online, the more urgent it becomes to develop sustainable networks capable of preserving and nourishing it – to discover new ways of working together, and of sharing knowledge as well as responsibility.
For Transformation Digital Art 2020, LI-MA built an online platform through which the events of the two day symposium and context information were presented. The same platform was used for the 2022 edition of the symposium. Audiences and participants were invited to explore the contents of the platform as well as engage in conversation and share thoughts and ideas via an open chat as well as through designated etherpads for each workshop and symposium day. The online platform remained open for visitors until August 1st, 2022.
