Where's Waldo 2.0

Canadian artist Melanie Coles has an interesting project on the go - a radically new version of the old 'Where's Waldo' game. Instead of children trying to find Waldo in a picture busy with people (like in the famous books), Melanie has 'hidden' a huge painting of Waldo on a rooftop somewhere in Vancouver. She "subverts the whole earth into being part of my game" by encouraging people to find it on Google Earth. There are even instructions for how you can join in and create your own Waldo image ready for the next fly-past. Nice.
