A second cryptopunk space invader landed in Paris. This time in the 18ème arrondissement in the quartier Goutte d'Or above the Olympic Café.
CryptoPunks is a non-fungible token (NFT) collection on the Ethereum blockchain. The project was launched in June 2017 by the Larva Labs studio, a two-person team consisting of Canadian software developers Matt Hall and John Watkinson. The experimental project was inspired by the London punk scenes, the cyberpunk movement, and electronic music artists Daft Punk. There are 10,000 unique CryptoPunks (6,039 male and 3,840 female), all of which are made digitally scarce through the use of blockchain technology. Each one was algorithmically generated through computer code and thus no two characters are exactly alike, with some traits being rarer than others.

The biggest space invader on planet Earth!
Place Igor Stravinsky can be considered the "trone" of street art. Two huge fresques, one of Jef Aerosol Chut! made in 2011 and the 'fresque' of Obey (Shephard Fairey) called « The futur is unwritten » and created within 48 hours in August 2019 go a welcome new one made by Invader in December 2019; PA_1432.
On Wednesday December 4, a new iconic alien from Invader came to invade Paris. So far, nothing very unusual, the French artist installs his works in the streets of the capital since 1996. However, this time, it is 447 tiles 9 m high by 7 m wide that constitute the monumental mosaic of the invader from elsewhere, the largest work of the Street Artist. Entitled PA_1432, in other words the 1432nd tiled work installed in Paris.

In the days that followed, the idea came to visit Amiens on the weekend of June 28 and 29 to search, capture and flash them. And so it happened..

Not only all Amsterdammers have to wear a face mask to protect themselves and others for COVID-19. This Amsterdam statue also wears a mouth mask neatly. An unknown person climbed on the pedestal of De Stedemaagd to provide it with a mouth mask. The well-known statue at the entrance of the Vondelpark at the Max Euweplein is a personification of our city. Sitting on a chair, she invites people to enter the Vondelpark with her right hand. In her left hand she is holding a shield with the coat of arms of our city. And together withs space invader AMS_26.

Invader must be a good fan of the Jamel Comedy Club on the Boulevard de Bonne Nouvelle in the 10ème arrondissement in Paris. The Jamel Comedy Club is a 26-minute weekly television program created, produced and presented by Jamel Debbouze, broadcast free-to-air on the Canal+ channel every Saturday in the summer, from 2006 to 2008.

The orange runner made in 2016 "flashinvadered" by Andy on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning in 2022, more than 5 years after invasion. As we speak Paris has 1467 space invaders, the most recent one is installed in June 2021. Invader is having a break apparently apart from his project in Potosi (Bolivia) installing the 4000th space invader on an altitude of +4000 meters.

The oldest space invader of Clermont-Ferrand and one of the oldest space invaders in France and the world. Still active in the historic center of Clermont-Ferrand on a quiet location.

One of the special Olympic space invader pieces Invader put up in Paris during the Olympics of 2024.

I have encountered this space invader already back in November 2005. The wall was repainted and they painted over this one as well. It is said that there was a period when the invader was visible in the original colors because the wall was sandblasted, but in November 2007 the invader was finally removed from the wall. I missed this 2016 re-activation. Due to the low activity of Invader in 2021 and early 2022, I have the time to find, flash and photograph all space invaders that have never been visited.

Mosaic art at ESA’s ESRIN Earth observation centre near Rome, Italy, placed under a mockup of Europe's launcher for small satellites Vega. French artist Invader is installing his art at ESA establishments around Europe and even on the International Space Station.
ESA has been monitoring Earth with its environmental satellites since the 1970s, keeping a constant watch over our planet by analysing satellite data to protect our environment.
The first space invader mosaic art was found by ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti during her mission on the International Space Station. She installed ‘Space2’ in Europe’s Columbus space laboratory. Since then, space-themed art has appeared at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany, at our Redu Centre in Belgium, our space operations centre in Germany and ESA’s technical heart in the Netherlands, and it even took over our headquarters in Paris, France.
Download a free app by the artist to spot and collect Invader art at ESA establishments and all over the world. Gain points by taking pictures of the mosaics and compare your scores.

The sea resort town of La Ciotat has been invaded as well. As we speak (January 2016) a total of 9 invaders installed during 4 waves. This one with FlashInvader colors was installed in the Summer of 2014. Just for the record, it was my personal 350th space invader flashed with the application FlashInvaders.
We didn't have the time to hunt for some other space invaders in La Ciotat. We know there are a few more including a good re-activated one.

After a silence of more than 9 months, Invader is again active in the Paris area. After the invasion wave in Potesi (Bolivia) with 53 space invaders (total 2030 points) including the 4000th at 4000 meters altitude and as the 80th city it remained silent in Paris. Until the end of March.when this PA_1468 was installed.
For me PA_1468 was the 1216th space invader fount in Paris (of 1468). And this PA_1468 was number 4053 in the world and my flash was flash numer 13,187,220 and there were 210,969 players on this morning of 02/04/2022.

The Place du Jeu de Balle (French) or Vossenplein (Dutch) is a square located in the heart of the Marolles/Marollen district of Brussels, Belgium. It holds a famous flea market. And above all, it was invaded in the year 2012. But deleted within about one month. But it's back!

PA_1113 [30 points]
A space invader in the suburb Puteaux West of Paris near La Défense. Ten years ago I was here as well to spot this $pace invader PA_1113 but I was too late. It was gone.
Re-activated in 2019 and in 2024 as well. We are looking to the 3rd version of PA_1113 here.

PA_126 [10 points]
This is a re-activated space invader in the 7ème arrondissement located on the Pont d'Iéna. The original was placed in 1998 but not long after removed by the authorities. Re-activated by Invader in 2008 for the reprint of his book "L'Invasion de Paris 1.0" because there was no proper photo in the first edition. And also this one did not last very long. But now it is part of the re-activation wave by the re-activasion team in Paris and PA_126 can be flashed and added to the FlashInvader galaries.

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.

Invader's first invasion in the year 2023 took place outside Paris; Villeneuve-Saint-George. I took RER D about 20 kilometers from Gare du Nord to the Southeast of Île-de-France to encounter this beautiful big invader along the N6 on an elevator shaft to reach the Passerelle Villeneuve Triage.
