A space invader with a rich history and 2 comebacks. The original PA_243 was installed in 1999 and removed off the wall not long after. Invader re-invaded this one to have a photo for his 1.1 version of the book L'Invasion de Paris. This one has been deleted in 2011. In 2016 this one is part of the huge Re-Activation wave in Paris by a group of fans of Invader's work and PA_243 was visible and flashable (the game FlashInvaders) again. And and a piece of cultural heritage is restored and back alive.

A hidden space invader in one of the beautiful gardens of Paris. If you know where you can find dinosaur skeletons, you may know where to search. This one was space invader number 3778 in the world, and the 999th flashed by me in Paris (from the 1419 excisting space invaders in the French capital).

I had to search for this one to find the building under which the space invader concerned was located. It's not an official "52-Weeks" selfie, but it could very well be.

One of the most iconic and high placed space invaders in Paris. The main question remains "How did he get up there?".

A duo space invader with a view over the Place de la Bastille. Hopefully for a long time.

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.

Second Best "52 Weeks Project"

Since I have been joining the 52 Weeks Project on Flickr it has happened several times that I had to chose between two or more self portraits that week. A difficult choice. The solution is to create a set of all good alternatives. Life is full of choices and sometimes a week has too much opportunities. This is one of those alternatives, the second best. And sometimes just as good.

Just a selfie in Clermont-Ferrand...

Location: Centre du Clermont-Ferrand, La Jetée. "Sauve Qui Peut Le Court Metrage", the "Studio cinématographique", the center of the short film festival.

Coordinates: 45°46'38" N 3°5'21" E

Reason: Not a specific reason at all. This second best "52-Weeks" selfportrait is made during my 3-day road trip to the city of Clermont-Ferrand to visit, capture and flash (by the online game FlashInvaders) all space invaders of Clermont-Ferrand.

Official "52" of this week: 15/52 Pelloche Ciné

Weather: Almost sunny, 14° C

Self-portrait technics: Joby portable gorillapod mounted on a street pole, selftimer on 10 seconds.

As far as I remember and hunt on space invaders in Paris and beyond (the year 2005) I have seen only seen this space invader for more than 35 percent destroyed. Not flashable on the online game smartphone application FlashInvaders untill June 2015 when of the space invader fans in Paris restored PA_312 and made it 'flashable' again. A perfect job with exactly the same tiles (color, size, material). Two reasons for this revisit: to see this one in full glory and in order to win 10 points in the FlashInvaders game.

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.
