On this Desert X 2019 podcast episode, Rasmus Nielsen of the Danish artist collective Superflex talks about Dive-In, 2019, their pink coral-like art installation at Cap Homme and Ralph Adams Park in Palm Desert. It's an attempt to create "fish-friendly architecture" for a future in which rising sea levels bring marine life back to the Coachella Valley. He also reflects upon "extreme participation" and weaving stories and memories into public space. And he looks back at Superflex's "greatest hits" and finds there is a common thread connecting their work in biogas 20 years ago to their imaginings about a post-climate change future today. Desert X runs from Feb 9 - April 21, 2019. Visit desertx.org for program information. The series is presented by Lead Sponsor PROJECT EVELOZCITY, which is creating electric vehicles that will be available by subscription.
