By bringing together international professionals, curators, artists and scholars from 2016 on, LI-MA aims to provide greater insights into the challenges related to conserving media art beyond the technology and creating a consortium to work on further research on this topic. 

Experimenting with reinterpretation, LI-MA commissioned #67 by artist Joost Rekveld, a re-interpretation of two works by The Vasulkas. Through this production practice, a case study emerged for the researchers to draw upon, in order to identify parallels in the mediation of a work and related notions of authorship, authenticity, autonomy, documentation, memory, continuity and liveness. The final work premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in January 2017. 

In 2017, LI-MA presented UNFOLD and curated a discussion around reinterpretation at the annual symposium Transformation Digital Art. Continuing our series of meetings, workshops and presentations, we invite artists to hack, deconstruct and reformat works and archives. Whereas in the first year the emphasis was mainly on reflection, the emphasis has shifted towards production and live performance of performative and interactive digital works based on reinterpretation by professionals and students. Three interactive, performative digital art works are produced per year. Once a year, LI-MA, actively and live, shows the newly produced digital artworks, including discussion, exhibition and online presentations where artists and researchers from different disciplines explore and reflect on each other's starting points and working methods.
