In 2002, Canadian artist Melanie Coles won a trip to the U.S. with her high school courtesy of NASA, and, in a stadium filled with students, they watched a live photo of themselves beamed onto a big screen from a satellite camera in space. Now, though, those cameras won’t be looking for Melanie, but for Waldo, known here in the UK as the literary legend Wally of considerable Where’s Wally fame. From vinyl sheet, and with the help of her little team, she’s created a giant Wally that, when the Google cameras update, will show up on Google Earth. And so the whole planet becomes the latest update to the Wally books: Where’s Wally for the 21st Century.
