Gouvernestraat - Rotterdam (Netherlands)

RTD_19 [10 points]

After the re-activation of this classic sized space invader in 2017 the building was renovated and the wall repainted. The re-activation of June 2020 was in close consultation with the artist of the mural and they allowed Invader (his re-activators) to put the space invader back in space where it was since 2001.

THE INVASION OF ROTTERDAM

In the year 2001 the city of Rotterdam has been invaded by Invader. It was the 8th city in the world being invaded. In 4 days Invader put 26 space invaders (1 hidden bonus) on the walls of Rotterdam. Sometimes hidden sometimes on very visible locations. In June 2020 three space invaders were re-activated (RTD_01, 18, 22) which made it possible to have flashed almost all 26 space invaders of Rotterdam. Except for the hidden RTD_26 which will never be re-activated because it was located on a wall near the Centraal Station. The area is redevelopped and the wall isn't there anymore.
