Diana Thater's video installation "The best animals are the flat animals", which belongs to the Goetz Collection, has been reconstructed by hartware medien kunst verein (Dortmund) according to a set-up dossier composed by the artist herself. The result was checked afterwards by Thater.

The two restaurateurs Agathe Jarczyk and Ulrich Stürmer (Bern) now will develop a documentation of the installation, as well as guidelines for its preservation.

Next to this, Professor Heinrich Müller from the graphic laboratory of the computer science Department at the Dortmund University works on a solution concerning the simulation of the specific qualities of the three-tube projector necessary for the installation. The simulation will be achieved through the manipulation of the video images.

Additionally the agency Pixelboxx (Dortmund) installs a specific data bank and a virtual working platform for the case study based on a content access management system developed by Pixelboxx.
