Explore the Moksha Mobile XR Bus, a one-of-a-kind immersive art experience powered by the AR Miami app and Moksha Arts Collective.
The Magic Bus is a fully equipped mobile XR gallery that travels to tech conferences, music festivals, after-school programs, and community events.
Board the bus and instantly find yourself inside a virtual replica—where up to fifteen guests can enter a shared VR gallery space using Quest headsets.
Walk down the aisle, step into a floating gallery, and experience ten-foot canvases up close in virtual reality.
Outside the bus, anyone with a smartphone can use the free AR Miami app to discover augmented reality art all around the bus—explore together, talk in real time, and snap in-VR world selfies before returning to the real world.

Art Basel 2024
During Art Basel 2024 we debuted the Moksha Mobile XR Bus "Magic Bus" a dream we had been developing. Creating an experience were you could step into a bus and be transported to a Virtual world you could then explore.
Our retrofitted ‘Magic Bus’ rolls up with 15 Quest headsets onboard, instantly turning any parking lot into a networked
VR gallery.
Up to fifteen headsets link in real time, so an entire group can explore the same virtual gallery side-by-side.
At Art Basel 2024, we parked the VR Bus at a Moksha Arts Collective event — guests danced outside while others toured a synced virtual gallery inside. We then projected the experience on a large TV outside.
Since 2022 Moksha Arts collective and AR Miami have been collaborating with artists, creating augmented reality galleries in Wynwood.
Our current exhibit features Artists "Holograms" of some of the most prominent local artists in Miami.
We want to leverage technology to bring back art to the streets.
AR Miami's collaboration with Moksha Arts Collective is now live in Wynwood. Featured Artists: Adrian Avila, Chris Dyer, Ras Terms, Reinier Gamboa, Stella Strzyzowska, Trek 6.
Since 2017 Moksha Arts Collective has maintained one of the largest independent galleries in VRChat—a labyrinth of luminous murals and 3-D sculptures that has welcomed tens of thousands of avatar visitors. When Burning Man moved online during the pandemic, our world was selected as an official BRCvr destination in both 2020 and 2021, streaming sunrise DJ sets and live painting to a global audience trapped at home. That early plunge into social VR taught us how to build spaces that feel communal, not gimmicky.
Today we’re taking the next leap: pairing that award-winning VR gallery with real-world augmented reality in the Magic Bus project. The same team that pioneered virtual art on the playa is now rolling into Miami neighborhoods—merging VR headsets, GPS-based AR, and WebAR QR codes so anyone with a phone can step into the story.
Founded in 2009 as a 501(c)(3) in Miami’s Little Haiti, Moksha Arts Collective has staged more than 200 multimedia events—from the long-running Moksha Art Fair during Art Basel week to neighborhood drum circles and lecture series on ethnobotany. Its gallery shows have featured icons such as Alex Grey, Amanda Sage, and Luis Valle, while providing first runs to dozens of emerging local painters. mokshafamily.org
In 2017 Moksha opened a three-level gallery in VRChat, one of the earliest large-scale art worlds on that platform. The space has logged tens of thousands of avatar visits and keeps evolving each art season. brcvr.org
When Burning Man went virtual for the pandemic, Moksha’s VR world was formally accepted into BRCvr, the official “virtual playa,” in both 2020 and 2021, placing it alongside marquee camps and live DJ stages. jcfractal.combrcvr.org
The same team and Unity tool-set behind the Burning Man worlds now powers the Moksha Mobile XR Bus (“Magic Bus”)—linking a live VR gallery to GPS-anchored AR through the AR Miami app. The bus lets Title I students step into a headset, exit into a sky-high virtual gallery, and then discover those artworks pinned around their own playground—an evolution of Moksha’s long-standing mission to fuse art, technology, and community.
