LI-MA – Living Media Art presents the 10th edition of Transformation Digital Art (TDA), its annual international symposium dedicated to the sustainable care and preservation of digital art. Taking place in Amsterdam, this two-day event brings together artists, researchers, museum and heritage professionals, and students to share knowledge, practices, and critical perspectives on how digital artworks can remain accessible over time.

For more than a decade, TDA has served as a platform for exchange at the intersection of artistic practice, technological change, and preservation work. The 2026 edition is organised around the theme "Networks: Structures of Collaboration, Care, and Trust", foregrounding the infrastructures, dependencies, and collective responsibilities that shape digital artworks throughout their lifecycles.

✦ Tereza Havlíková @tereza_max@mastodon.social (Art historian and curator, Zentrum für Netzkunst / Ruhr-Universität Bochum) and @sakrowski@post.lurk.org (Curator, Zentrum für Netzkunst) speak on DAY 1 of the symposium, on Thursday, 26 March, about "Inserting Net Art".
