Transmoderna is a hybrid collective situated at the intersection of electronic music and digital arts. Its four core members and its co-founder Dixon cross-breed competencies of the music industry, visual tech development, creative directing, and film-making. The outcomes are journeys beyond the realms of digital culture.

The ongoing project ‘Terraforming’ turns to the current phenomenon of post-ecological leisure travel to the solar system's uninhabitable planets. Rendered in three cinematic scenes, the second virtual reality iteration of ‘Terraforming—Terraforming CIR’ (2022)—narrates the crossing from our present into the past, where future generations of voyagers will encounter life in planetary colonies. On display are artifact leftovers from technological obsolescence, utopian ideas of planned usage, and spectral memories.
