Passage de la Main d'Or 15/04/2018 10h18

This street has a rich history when it comes to street art. The very first space invader in the world used to be here and the original PA_133 together with the 'fresque' of ZEVS are still here. And in April 2018 PA_047 was re-activated as well. I'm sure a lof people are waiting for the re-activation of PA_1 (or PA_01 or PA_001) but I'm not sure if that will ever happen.

PA_1368 [40 points]

It took me more than 3 years to visit this white space invader in Montreuil. Nowadays surrounded by a mural made by street artist Popov who integrated the space invader into his own work. It was the 3628th space invader worldwide.

Before 2020 this wall had a mural made by artist Romy's: PA_1368 (Tofz4u, September 2018)

The entrance gate at ESA’s ESRIN Earth observation centre near Rome, Italy, with recently installed mosaic art. 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.

PA_1459 [30 points]

It appears that Invader has taken a sabbatical in 2021. Only 40 new space invaders in the world of which 25 in Ljubljana (wave 2) and only 15 in his hometown Paris. A we speak (02/01/2022) Invader just installed the 4000th invader in the 40th invaded city at an altitude of 4000 meters to start 2022.

This space invader in the 9ème arrondissement of Paris is one of the 15 new space invaders of the year 2021.

PA_1205 [100 points]

I guess this is one of the biggest space invaders in Paris. Very well visible from the métro line 6 between the stations Chevaleret and Quai de la Gare along the Boulevard Vincent Auriol. Almost 3 three stories high on one of the buildings of Hôpital La Pitié-Salpêtrière. This character is nobody else than House (when flashing this one with the app FlashInvaders it says "HOUSE IS IN DA HOUSE".

House (also called House, M.D.) is an American television medical drama that originally ran on the Fox network for eight seasons, from November 16, 2004 to May 21, 2012. The series' main character is Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), a pain medication-dependent, unconventional, misanthropic medical genius who leads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (PPTH) in New Jersey. The series' premise originated with Paul Attanasio, while David Shore, who is credited as creator, was primarily responsible for the conception of the title character. The series' executive producers included Shore, Attanasio, Attanasio's business partner Katie Jacobs, and film director Bryan Singer. It was filmed largely in Century City. [ Wikipedia ]

PA_1205 was the 3329th space invader in the world.

A forgotten re-activated space invader in the 12ème arrondissement of Paris. Outlined made of a mix of tiles (meaning; 1 bigger than the others). Glad I found and flashed this one hidden in a narrow partly covered alley. I was lucky the lady with the cane just came out of the door next to the watchmaker's with their motto If you got a watch, we have the time.

Another good example of a re-activated space invader of which I have never seen the original and of which I forgot to visit, capture and flash the re-activated version. Flashed this one almost 4 years after re-activation. Shame on me!

A revisit of all flashable space invaders including an update about the state these space invaders are in. This one has seen better days but it is already more than 15 years active. Long for a low installed invader like this. All tiles are still the original tiles.

This school boy seemed to chose this location to prepare last-minute a test or examen. Protected by PA_258.

Nothing is as changeable as the wall in front of the house where Serge Gainsbourg lived. Space invader PA_801 has disappeared a few times but is always reactivated by the fanatical space invader fans. In 2009 this was space invader number 2147 in the world.

MARS_75 [20 points]

A revisit of MARS_75 near the stairs of Gare Marseille Saint-Charles. When I visited this one in 2021 there was overcast and three years later this blue one is bathing in full sunshine.

This space invader is part of the 4th wave of Invader in this city, where he added a whopping 84 new space invaders to the existing 13 from three previous waves (two in 2004, one in 2014) in August 2020.

AIX_06 [20 points]

Stewart and Sam busy taking photos and 'flashing' this one and only space invader in the center of Aix on the corner of the Rue de la Couronne and Rue Brueys.

 

Invader decided to invade Aix-en-Provence as the third city in the world after Paris and London. In June 1999 10 space invaders were installed spread out over the old center. The one and only wave with a total score of 160 points.

Two years ago only AIX_07 was left of this invasion wave and was deleted in 2014. But this one came back to life during a re-activation and is protected by perspex. So there is still one space invader left as we speak, perhaps more re-activations will be organized in Aix.

The most beautiful summary in mosaic tiles of the year 2020. The year 2020 was a bad year for Invader. In Paris he has placed only 18 new space invaders. In total he placed 102 space invaders, most of which of course in Marseille. The third wave in this city includes 84 space invaders. Due to the lockdown, there have been no other waves.

In 2020 the number of FlashInvaders users grew by 35,692 to 153,672 and a total of nearly 2.5 million space invaders were flashed!

The originial of this one (see below for the link to the original space invader made in 1999) was the first space invader in the Netherlands and Amsterdam. The original has been deleted in October 2006 due to the renovation and painting of this monumental bridge. But it was part of the re-activation of gone space invaders. The fourth official re-activation in Amsterdam (AMS_04 in October 2015, AMS_10 in March 2016 and right before the re-activation of this one, AMS_11)

Visible and flashable (on the application FlashInvaders) again.

A revisit to the Pac Man space invader in the 5ème arrondissement of Paris because during my last visit in September 2020 I was not able to flash this one. FlashInvaders is not always that easy.

I captured this mirror eyed 'videogame' space invader for the first time in July 2005 without taking a close-up shot. Made in 1999 and desactivated in 2014 and had a come back in 2015 and after another disparition we are looking at the third edition of PA_211. With finally a good close-up.

Rue Mignard | AVI_16 23/06/2015 12h47

Avignon is an invaded city. Two years ago in the Summer of 2013 I found 22 of all 41 space invaders. The interactive game application FlashInvaders was nonexistent at that time. During the little time of my visit in Avignon this time I tried to flash the most of them, the score was 12 flashed Avignon space invaders with a total score of 180 points plus 100 bonus points 'new city'.

Sad news is that 5 space invades I encountered in 2013 are not there anymore.

 

Stewart is 'flashing' AVI_16 on this corner. Ten points!

PA_1205 [100 points]

I guess this is one of the biggest space invaders in Paris. Very well visible from the métro line 6 between the stations Chevaleret and Quai de la Gare along the Boulevard Vincent Auriol. Almost 3 three stories high on one of the buildings of Hôpital La Pitié-Salpêtrière. This character is nobody else than House (when flashing this one with the app FlashInvaders it says "HOUSE IS IN DA HOUSE".

House (also called House, M.D.) is an American television medical drama that originally ran on the Fox network for eight seasons, from November 16, 2004 to May 21, 2012. The series' main character is Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), a pain medication-dependent, unconventional, misanthropic medical genius who leads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (PPTH) in New Jersey. The series' premise originated with Paul Attanasio, while David Shore, who is credited as creator, was primarily responsible for the conception of the title character. The series' executive producers included Shore, Attanasio, Attanasio's business partner Katie Jacobs, and film director Bryan Singer. It was filmed largely in Century City. [ Wikipedia ]

PA_1205 was the 3329th space invader in the world.
