TerraForma

After a million years entirely devoid of life, the remote desert island of Ascension was engineered into a tropical paradise through a process of ‘terraforming’. By examining this unique scientific design process, TerraForma asks us to consider what transformation might mean for the fate of our planet. In a future when terraformed landscapes are more common, can human-engineered environments warp the very idea of what ‘nature’ means?
