Invader is making space invaders which adapts the location. Not only the kind of building but also to the kind of business or store its located. This one in the 6ème is a perfect example. Pour Agnes :) is what the application FlashInvaders states when you flash this one.

Amsterdam has been invaded by the one and only Invader in the Summer of 2000. Till today (2015) there has been only one invasion wave of 26 space invaders. Apart from some other pixel artists like Mister_X and AmsterInvader.
As we speak in 2015, 9 of the in total 26 space invaders are still 'active'(= 31 %) which is not that bad after more than 14 years.

A space invader on the Place de Pologne which is actually an exit (sortie 2) of the autoroute A50 (Marseille - Toulon) and a fly-over is almost grazing this 80th space invader of Marseille. This space invader has Kaws style eyes. What I mean? This! (Museumplein, Amsterdam 2021).
Till August 2020 I found and flashed all 13 space invaders of wave 1 (MARS_01 - MARS_11 - 2004 and wave 2 (MARS_12 and MARS_13). But during wave 3 in August 2020 the number of space invaders went up to 97. In total 84 space invaders on my list again.

A l'aéroport Roissy Charles de Gaulle, pas très loin du terminal 1.
La mosaïque originale signée Invader avait été posée par Invader le 26 juillet 2002.
Elle avait été arrachée ... et a été réactivée en septembre 2017.
On peut y accéder à pied assez facilement depuis la gare de RER B Aéroport CDG, terminaux 1 et 3.
Sur Flashinvaders, cette mosaïque vaut 50 points.

Finally two new invaders in Paris after almost 5 months without any invasion in the capital of France and the world capital of space invaders.

When Paris opened up after the lockdown to fight COVID-19 on May 11th a huge amount of re-activation took place in Paris. This one is part of this déconfinement re-activations. Located on the Butte de Montmartre and for tourists on the walking route between Sacré-Cœur and Place du Tertre. In full sunlight this one is very hard to 'flash' for FlashInvaders. Too little contrast between the invader and the wall. I have never seen the original of this "big" white invader. Two horses, two police officers and four pigeons.

This is one of the space invaders in Rotterdam which was presumed dead but has been re-activated this morning by space invader hunter and FlashInvaders player Joethecrab (unrecognizable on the picture, ranking on number 6, 739 space invaders found and a score of 21,100 points as we speak) and yours truly (ranking on number 73, 269 space invader flashed and a score of 7,760 points). This 10 point black and white space invader was painted over for years and with a little help of us it has been re-activated again on the morning of April 16 on 09h33 in the morning. Looks like new and invaded yesterday. Though we say to ourselves!

THE INVASION OF ROTTERDAM
In the year 2001 the city of Rotterdam has been invaded by Invader. In 4 days Invader put 26 space invaders (1 hidden bonus) on the walls of Rotterdam. Sometimes hidden sometimes on very visible locations. I took some photos earlier but never put them on Flickr. Eight of the in total 25 space invader are still 'active' in 2015. Two were deleted in 2014 and 2 old new ones came back active (one re-activation and one became visible again due to the removal of a small billboard where it was hidden behind). Rotterdam was the 8th invaded city in the world.

PA_1557 [40 points]
On the night of February 19th, Invader added four space invaders in Paris. A striking detail is that these four (PA_1556 through PA_1559) use a new type of mosaic tile with a slightly curved front. I'm posting these four in the order I visited and flashed them. I came to Paris on the beautiful sunny day of February 25th to photograph these four in good lighting conditions. PA_1557, however, will never experience direct sunlight. It's located near Pont Neuf.

Invader Rubikcubist
From 24/06/2022 till 08/01/2023 Invader had an exhibition in the MiMa Museum (Millennium Iconoclast Museum of Art) in Bruxelles (Molenbeek Saint-Jean) under the titel Invader Rubikcubist.
Since the late 1990's, Invader has been clandestinely invading the street of the world with his mosaics which appear as if they have come straight out of an old school video game. There are now more than 4,000 of them scattered across 80 cities around the world; in the suburbs of Tokyo, on the letters of the Hollywood sign, atop of the Tour Eiffel, in the Tunesian desert, since one of his creations is orbiting the Earth 16 times a day aboard the ISS space station.
In 2003, for the first time, Invader introduced references to a cult object into his compositions; the Rubik's Sube. A year later, he created Rubik's Space One, a small sculpture composed of nine cubes. This was the starting point of the movement that the artist has called "Rubikcubism", a nod to Braque and Picasso's cubism and the name of the Hungarian inventor of the famous brainteaser.

PA_280 [10 points]
One of the many new old space invaders in Paris. Never seen the 'original' in the early days of my space invader hunt which started somewhere in 2004 and 2005. But this succesful re-activation is flashable with the online game FlashInvaders so the work has been approved by Invader.
PA_280 is in good company in the field of street art, high above this re-activated space invader there is this work of LMDLDZR (photo 2011).
