This year LI-MA celebrates her 10th anniversary. Founded by a small specialised and passionate team, LI-MA has grown into an influential platform, centre of expertise with a wide network over the course of the past 10 years. All of LI-MA’s activities are aimed at sustainable access to media art and promoting a critical understanding of media art and technology within new technological and social contexts as well as realities. LI-MA is the digital depot for media art in the Netherlands for both institutions and artists. On an international level, LI-MA is a pioneer and centre of expertise in the field of conservation, research and distribution of media art.

A milestone certainly worth commemorating, we are excited to announce that throughout this year, LI-MA celebrates with a 10 Year Anniversary Programme including screening events, Transformation Digital Art 2023 symposium, workshops, the launch of a brand new visual identity and much more. 

We would like to thank all our collaborators including the emerging as well as established artists, curators, programmers, institutions, our partners and other players in the field of media art.
