Check out the info below, then see our complete guide to all of the Desert X installations here.
What: It Exists in Many Forms
Artist: Postcommodity

Where: The Walter White Wave House, 73697 Santa Rosa Way, Palm Desert
Note: if you are looking to avoid Desert X “spoilers” stop reading here. If not, carry on.
The Lowdown: So, I am going to be honest with you here: this one is definitely one of the more bizarre Desert X installations. Currently the Wave House is undergoing renovations after being purchased by a father-son architect team, so it’s a big construction site all week long. But, for the next two months, they are going to be having people in for Desert X during the weekends, event though the place isn’t close to being finished.
So why you ask? Well, this one is not about the visuals. Sure, you can see that wavey roof when you arrive, but it’s all about how that roof deals with sound as you walk through the home.
They break things down much more about the intent of everything going on over at the Desert X website and if you get it, cool. As for me, honestly, I just found the whole thing super odd and disappointing – but, hey, you might like it, so check it out and then head up the road to Dive-In.
