Belgian artist Dries Depoorter built an artwork where Alibaba's open-source Qwen3-VL runs locally on three gaming GPUs, watching 450+ unsecured public cameras worldwide to spot anyone dressed like Wally.
It has analyzed about 1.68M frames and published 13 verified matches — from the US to Japan and Peru — each manually checked by Depoorter before posting.
