PA_1474 [20 points]
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).

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.

NY_115 [20 points]
New York City was one of the first cities 'invaded' by Invader. The first 'wave' was before the 9/11 attacks in 2001 and as we speak (2015) the city of New York has been invaded 147 times spread out over 6 waves (the last wave was in May 2015 with only one additonal space invader). This one was installed in 2009.
Stewart is using the "FlashInvaders" application to gain 20 points. Much to the surprise of a passing local.

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.

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.

This big green space invader in Le Marais is part of the 127th wave in Paris and is number 4087 in the world. As we speak (July 2023) still the most recent Paris space invader.

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.

"At the occasion of the screening of the very last version of the movie Art4Sspace at the Interntional Short Film Festival of Clermont-Ferrand, I have added 31 new creations to the city of the center of France. Among various themes, they refer to movies and cinema but also to what Clermont Ferrand is famous for : its gothic cathedrale, its volcanos, its Michelin factories and its Serge Gainsbourg street" (Invader)

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.

A hot day in Paris, "Plan canicule activé", I went for a walk for a meet and greet of two re-activated space invaders near Monceau and Courcelles...
Location: Place de la République de l' Équateur, Boulevard and Rue de Courvelles, Paris 8ème.
Coördinates: 48°87'91"N 2°30'35"E
Reason: I was in this part of Paris to capture and flash ("FlashInvaders") PA_387 and PA_268 and while waiting for the space invader in full sunlight (see at the corner left of my face) I took the opportunity for my selfportrait.
Boulevard de Courcelles: Boulevard de Courcelles is a 1160 meters long boulevard in the 8ème and 17ème arrondissement in Paris. This boulevard starts at avenue de Villiers and place Prosper-Goubaux and ends at place des Ternes.
There are 4 métro stations along this boulevard; Villiers (2, 3), Monceau (2), Courcelles (2), Ternes (2).
The boulevard owes its name to the nearby rue de Courcelles, which itself derives from the fact that it was the road that led directly to the hamlet of Courcelles.

PA_1512 [50 points]
One of the special Olympic space invader pieces Invader put up in Paris during the Olympics of 2024. This one is very visibly located along the Seine right below Hôtel de Ville which is an official location during the Olympiad. Unfortunately this one did not stay very long. But a lot of people have enjoyed this one.

PA_243 [20 point]
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.

PA_287 [10 points]
About 10 "ground" space invaders have been re-activated in June 2020. One of the re-activators must have mastered him- or herself the method how to put an invader in the asphalte. This one is located in the Saint-Paul area of the Marais. Just look down to find!
I have never seen the orignal myself, also not the re-activated version of 2016 which was deleted quite quickly a few months later.
