The end of #TDA2026 Day 2 turns to locative art projects, moving from the blockchain dérive of Jan Robert Leegte’s Wanderer, to bringing older works to the present.

Can AI support the conservation and stewardship of media art? Or help connect and compare video art archives and connections? And how to address biases in the documentation of intangible heritage? #TDA2026

Artist Nestor Siré brings a perspective from Cuba, where local ingenuity grapples with infrastructural limitations, and urges us to approach technology from a local point of view. #TDA2026

Media art collections are often siloed from each other. Our first panel of the day at #TDA2026 highlights projects and initiatives that aim to connect archives collections, and data.

Immersive installations have taken over the cultural sector, presented as highly shareable spectacle. In her keynote during #TDA2026, Amira Gad problematises how digital infrastructures can reproduce existing imbalances to the detriment of critical engagement with art.

LI-MA founder and director Gaby Wijers is kicking off Day 2 of Transformation Digital Art 2026! A look back at 10 editions of LI-MA’s symposium on media art preservation #TDA2026

#TDA2026 is also a space where new ideas can be tested, presented, and developed via peer feedback. Researcher Aga Wielocha presents an emerging accessible repository of preservation processes and practices.

Inge Hinterwaldner and Annet Dekker discuss artistic, museum, curatorial, and civic preservation strategies for net-based artworks. What new forms of categorisation can emerge even in moments of crisis? #TDA2026

Time-based media art conservator at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam Flaminia Fortunato and art historian & researcher Chiara Borgonovo ask: If we imagine our practice as a carrier bag, what do we bring in it? #TDA2026

In the face of extractive digital infrastructures and an opaque technoscientific apparatus, Brian Castriota & Helia Marçal (@uclhistoryofart.bsky.social) a propose care as an aspirational political proposition and the potential of refusal as a site of ethics and gesture of resistance. #TDA2026

Next up: Ronny Heiremans (Jubilee) on collective ownership, shared archives, and artistic infrastructures that function as living systems rather than static collections. #TDA2026

A deep dive into net art histories with Tereza Havlíková and Sakrowski (@zfn.bsky.social), focusing on how early internet artworks can be preserved without losing their context. #TDA2026

Kelani Nichole (@kelani.bsky.social) of @transfergallery.bsky.social at #TDA2026 on decentralised archives and artist-owned preservation. A strong case for new models of care and governance in digital art.

Live from #TDA2026: In her keynote, Sarah Friend (@isthisa.com) reflects on digital (im)permanence, online games as worlds, and the impossible longing to evade death through permanent data storage. A thoughtful start to Day One.

Day One of #TDA2026 has begun. Director Gaby Wijers welcomes us to this special 10th anniversary edition of our annual symposium: “Without care this important part of our cultural heritage will be lost – accessibility is key.”
