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.

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.

It goes without saying that the most famous street artist of Paris, France or even the world Invader also contributed to the Capitale(s) exhibition at Hôtel de Ville in Paris.

For this exhibition, Invader worked it out in such a way that he installed his 1475th space invader in Paris here (along with his 1474th) and that the total points of all space invaders in Paris would be 40,000. And all this in the year he placed his 4000th space invader in Potosie (Bolivia).

PA_801 [20 points]

This space invader on this particular location has everything to do with the French culture. Located on the wall of the house of Serge Gainsbourg. It's the third version. The 2009 original has been deleted a few days after installation, the second one has been re-activated by Invader himself in 2011 and was removed in the same year. This one is the work of the R-Team Paris and made in 2016. The decor is the always chaning graffiti and street art wall in the 7ème arrondissement of Paris, the house of Gainsbourg is in Rue de Verneuil which is not a secret at all.

Walking towards the Ainse de Malmousque this space invader pops up and is hard to miss.

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_1480 [50 points]

A "50 points" cryptopunk space invader landed in the neighbourhood of Les Halles. This is Invader's 4071 space invader in the world. Part of a series of 4 cryptopunk space invaders so far (*March 2023) and this one is the biggest one.

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.

I visited this first Paris space invader in the year 2024 when it was fresher than fresh. My estimation is one day after invasion. As we speak (*March 2024) I still have to come back for a better shot of this blue camo style invader in the 5ème arrondissement of Paris. This evening was not perfect for a good shot. The yellow colored street lights does not help as well (LED is much better for street photography at night).

It's raining re-activations in Paris. Due to the online application game FlashInvaders some fans felt the urge to re-activate destroyed space invaders which never made it to the game which was brought online in July 2014. This PA_311 was destroyed somewhere between the end of 2013 to the beginning of 2014 and was never 'flashable'. Thanks to the fabulous work of a fan this curb invader is back to life and everyone can win 20 extra points at this spot.

Stewart busy with flashing and photographing the space invader on the beach of La Ciotat (Plage Cyrnos).

 

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.

Exactly 26 years after installing the first space invader PA_01, Invader has placed the 1500th space invader in Paris at the top of nowhere other than Center Pompidou. This coincided with the Invader Space Station exhibition in the former Libération newspaper building near Place de la République.

Invader likes to make such tiled poster mosaics in recent years. This one is located in the neighbourhood Préfecture not far from the Cours Julien.

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.

Mosaic art at ESA’s ESRIN Earth observation centre near Rome, Italy. 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.
