A revisit to this Megaman space invader in the 6ème arrondissement to 'flash it' (the game FlashInvaders in full swing on my smart phone since February 2015). To my surprise I found this one protected behind acrylic glass. No idea who did this but it is the first time (apart from the only surviver in Aix-en-Provence) I have seen this in Paris. Protect them all, the work of Invader can already be considered as cultural heritage.

One of the two space invaders installed right after the COVID-19 lockdown was released on 11/05/2020. People were allowed again to leave there homes without a permission and Invader took the opportunity to put up some fresh space invaders like this one.

My first space invader encountered in person in Germany and part of the invasion of Köln (Cologne) on the site of ESA’s astronaut centre ...

Location: ESA’s astronaut centre near Cologne (Germany) in the community called Wahn.

Coordinates: 50°51'8" N 7°7'53" E

Reason: A visit to three of the space invaders on the site of ESA in Köln which are normally hidden away from the public. A visit was organized by V ("JOETHECRAB" on FlashInvaders) and about 20 of space invader fans from France, Belgium and the Netherlands (including yours truly) travelled to Germany to see, capture and flashinvader the three space invaders on the strictly guarded and normalitarian inaccessible terrain of ESA.

Invasion of Cologne: As we speak (April 2017) the city of Cologne (including the ones on the ESA site) counts 27 space invaders, invaded in 3 waves and in total 670 points. The first waves took place in the year 2007 and the last wave was in 2015 and contains the 3 space invaders on the site of ESA (in total 250 points on the ESA site).

A walk through Paris with the sole purpose of flashing the reactivated space invader in the Rue de Tolbiac; PA_876...

Location: Rue de Tolbiac, Paris 13ème

Coordinates: 48°82'64"N 2°36'37" E

Reason: I had a nice walk with a friend living near Marne-la-Vallée who doesn't want his picture on the media through Paris. I decided to take him to this part of Paris and realized that PA_876 was also missing from my online game FlashInvaders. Another 30 points on the counter and a nice walk through the neighbourhood of Peupliers and Butte aux Cailles. It ended with a nice dinner on Place d'Italie.

Rue de Tolbiac: A 2 715 meters long street in the 13ème arrondissement of Paris in the quartier Maison-Blanche. This street owes its name to the battle of Tolbiac, victory won by Clovis in 496 against the Alamans. The town of Tolbiac, which today bears the name Zülpich, is located in the region of Cologne, Germany.

PA_876: The original of PA_876 was put up almost 10 years prior to this photo. Deleted somewhere in 2013 and re-activated in February 2020 before the confinement (lockdown).

FlashInvaders: When I flashed this one, I was on rank 454 of the game with in total 1337 space invaders (1139 of them in Paris, in Paris in total 1446 invasions as we speak). Total score: 38,770.

As we speak there are more than 138,000 players of the application game FlashInvaders.

A still original space invader of 1999 on the wall of a 22 storey high residential building (Orphee Résidence) in the 15ème arrondissement of Paris. The test of time has played a part. I have a photo of 2003 (pre-Flickr time) as well of this one. I still had to "flash" this one and I was in the neighbourhood to visit re-activated PA_174. Good to see an original space invader with the age of 20 years and 8 months (7555 days to be exact) invader still active with only 5 tiles missing.

MARS_90 [50 points]

One of the two space invaders outside Cité Radieuse in the quartier Sainte-Anne. Best seen from the roof of Hotel Le Corbusier where the exposition Invasion Planete Marseille took place. Invader was invited to do a site specific installation at MaMo, the arts center created by Ora-ïto atop of La Cité Radieuse in Marseille. For the occasion, I have turned the exhibition space into an strategic base and pushed back the symbolic and physical limits of the place by carrying out an exhibition-invasion at the scale of the entire city of Marseille.

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.

PA_65 [10 points]

Apart from the eyes this 10 points worth space invader is in black and white. Located in a narrow but lively street in the 11ème arrondissement of Paris in the quartier Roquette. Part of one of the many re-activations and I have never seen the original of this one.

PA_1276 [30 points]

On my way to Paris on this day I discovered on the site of Invader that three new space invaders were installed overnight. Due to the 'live' function I found out that one of the three was installed here at one of the by tourists most visited squares in Montmartre. In the year 2010 PA_856 came first and still visible and good condition. PA_1276 is totally adapted to the environment. "NICE SHOT" tells the online game FlashInvaders when flashing this one.

This is the last space invader in Paris I encountered, captured and flashed before the total lockdown of France and most other European countries to fight the COVID-19 virus. As we speak (28/04/2020) it is not known when I can return to Paris :-(

MARS_45 [20 points]

An already proven but not often used concept. Replace mosaic tiles in an existing wall to create a space invader. Near the Préfecture of Bouches-du-Rhône.

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.
