I wasn't thinking of 'trans-digital'. Maybe 'trans-media' would be 
better, but I'm not interested in coining a term.
'Trans' implies movement between/away from/to states. 'Meta' is 
recursive, repetetive, representational.
As far as theory goes, Baudrillard usefully explores many 'transes' in 
'The Transparency of Evil'. There are also nice resonances with Deleuze 
and Guattari's lines of flight and molecularity.
