PA_19 [10 points]
One of the very low numbered space invaders coming back to Paris due to a very successful re-activation action of the true fans. Excellent job and hopefully visible for a long time. I was here when the swing bridge was in maintenance and closed for traffic and public. I asked the workers if I could make a close-up of the space invader. Looking weird, I got short access to the closed bridge section.

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.

Three re-activated space invaders at the same prime location, the three air shafts of Centre Pompidou. Never seen these three space invaders at the same time. Great job of the re-activators.
I was afraid these three would have been removed within a few days or weeks, but these tripple space invaders are already more than half a year untouched where they belong...visible and flashable in the street.

An 'outlined' orange space invader of the very first generation recently being re-activated around 30/03/2015. This 30rd space invader in Paris did not have such a long life. The re-activation was made by one of the very active players of the game FlashInvaders. Hopefully this time PA_030 will stay a bit longer.

An animal friendly space invader with a message for people considering getting a cat or a dog. Before buying one, check out an animal shelter.
Invader was asked to do something to this problem by a volonteer of the shelter. And Invader did!
This PA_1435 was the first space invader installed in the year 2020, it was 3859 in the world.
Unfortunately, this invader is more overgrown than six months earlier at the time of the invasion. Pruning needs to be done.

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.

MARS_62 [30 points]
A space invader in a Mediterranean atmosphere in the tiny sea harbour of Vallon des Auffes. A harbor only used for pleasure boats. It's hard to get close to this sea reflecting space invader but it is easy flashable for FlashInvaders.
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.
Onscreen FlashInvaders message: AWESOME!

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.

Re-activated means a revisit with 50 points as a result. Not sure if this is Kung-Fu or a street fighter.

A space invader with a gambling factor. Or the blinds are closed and you can capture the whole invader, or you have bad luck and the blinds are open and you can only see what you see here.

This yellow ground invader has recently been re-activated again by one the many re-activators. This type of space invader has to endure a lot of wear and tear from all the public that walks over it every day. Unlike my first visit in 2020, all the tiles are still in place.
