Walkers Watchers is an interactive 3D-projection of an oil–on-canvas landscape Al Wadi (c. 1981-83), where select elements are reimagined as virtual reproductions then located in relation to Qusayr Amra, the Umayyad castle also identified in the original painting. The projection was realized by simulating a three-dimensional space of the landscape, taking as a source the publicly available architectural drawings and geographical data on the castle.

Walkers Watchers is part of G44 Digital.
