The surreal art and wildlife of the desert: the world around TED@PalmSprings

The TED staff is plugged in here at the Palm Springs Riviera Resort and Spa, preparing for the simulcast event. Co-hosts Kelly Stoetzel of TED and Rives went exploring the environs yesterday and found a strange world dotted with curious structures and surreal art installations.
