Postcommodity challenges enthusiasts of midcentury modern homes in the Coachella Valley to look at these houses through new eyes. The indigenous art collective, made up of Cristóbal Martínez and Kade Twist, has created a sound installation for Desert X 2019 called "It Exists in Many Forms." It's installed at the Wave House, a midcentury modern home in Palm Desert that is being restored. Their work uses the natural acoustics of the undulating wooden roof to play a seven-channel sound piece that consists of field recordings and interviews with midcentury modern enthusiasts. Listen to Martínez explain the thinking behind the sound work, in which you'll "experience the comfort and the vision of the home, but in relationship to the sonic iconography of anxieties."
