There is a project in the Coachella Valley that results in a wide range of art installations scattered across the desert landscape.  We found our way to four of them around Mecca, CA.  Terminal Lake Exploration: a pontoon boat outfitted with cameras and sensors monitoring and playing back at the state park all things measurable about the Salton Sea.  Mosquito Net: a water’s edge sculpture of people and creatures.  Point of View: a cluster of 5 sets of stairs to nowhere out in the open desert.  Gossimer: an abandoned gas station draped in bright colored fabric waving in the wind.  There are dozens more scattered between here and Palm Springs ranging from simple

shapes to complex visual projections.  It could take a whole weekend navigating this rugged terrain to check them all out.  We will leave that to others this year.
