Invader (born 1969) is a French urban artist who pastes up characters from and inspired by the Space Invaders game, made up of small coloured square tiles that form a mosaic.
Invader started this project in 1998 with the invasion of Paris – the city where he lives and the most invaded city to date – and then spread the invasion to 31 other cities in France (such as Montpellier, Marseille, Avignon, Rennes, Bordeaux, Lille, or Bastia…). London, Cologne, Geneva, Newcastle, Rome, Berlin, Lausanne, Barcelona, Bonn, Ljubljana, Vienna, Graz, Amsterdam, Bilbao, Manchester, Darlington are among the 22 other European cities which have been invaded. In the world, Los Angeles, New York City, San Diego, Toronto, Bangkok, Tokyo, Katmandu, Varanasi, Melbourne, Perth and even Mombasa are now invaded with his colourful characters in mosaic tiles.

first time i've knitted with two colours
takes me back to binary coding 8bit fonts and sprites on the c64 :)
La mosaïque originale créée par Invader avait été posée à Montreuil le 21 janvier 2008.
Elle avait été arrachée, volée ... disparue.
La mosaïque a été réactivée en 2018.
it's not as easy to get up next to someone you love in los angeles. i was lucky enough to find this phone booth across an invader peice that i absolutely love. it's hard too see without a pro account because they only let you upload so many pixels. but that's what notes are for.
Took this photo while wandering through the winding rues of Montpellier's old city. At the time I didn't realize it was part of a larger Space Invaders project.
