Museums of contemporary art, including the Museum of Modern Art-New York; the Tate Britain’s online for-profit venture, Tate Online: Intermedia Art; and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston utilized Lafia’s expertise as a creative strategist and information architect to conduct global media audits of best practices in advance technologies for the arts, and audits of each institution’s assets for online initiatives.

From 1987 to 1993 while a member of the Writers Guild of America, Lafia tried his hand at writing screen adaptations, including the Marvel comic book ''Iron Man'', and the comic strip ''Judge Dredd'' for Ed Pressman films. Lafia also wrote an adaptation of Rudy Rucker’s novel ''Software'', which won the Philip K. Dick Award in 1982. None of Lafia’s screen adaptations were made into films, but in the long path of development of a script into film, ''Judge Dredd'', ''Iron Man'', and ''Software'' all were eventually made into films by writer-director teams that worked subsequent to Lafia’s writing of the initial adaptations. Lafia was the writer and conceptualist〔Lafia's writes in an e-mail to Jane Craford, June 26, 2009, about the early history in the late first- early second-decade of music video production: 〕 for Madonna’s ''Express Yourself'' (1989), which won the MTV Best Female Video and Best Director awards. Lafia was also a writer and conceptualist for Don Henley’s ''End of the Innocence'' (1990), winner of the MTV Best Male Performer award; and for Michael Jackson’s ''Black or White'' (1991).〔(Michael Jackson's Music-Video Legacy ) (2009, June 25).
