PA_1585 [50 points]

One of the 23 space invaders installed by Invader because of his participation of the exposition BEYOND THE STREETS in La Grand Halle de la Villette. It's all about the great legends of street art and graffiti The exposition is from 27/05/2026 till 30/08/2026.

The last space invader I found, captured and flashed this sunny and warm evening. I found 16 of the 19 space invaders.. It was a long time ago I flashed so many new invaders on one day (within 1h50).

This one is located around the corner of the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique.

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.

PA_170 [50 points]

When Paris opened up after the lockdown to fight COVID-19 on May 11th a huge amount of re-activation took place in Paris. This one is part of this déconfinement re-activations. Located on the Butte de Montmartre and for tourists on the walking route between Sacré-Cœur and Place du Tertre. In full sunlight this one is very hard to 'flash' for FlashInvaders. Too little contrast between the invader and the wall. I have never seen the original of this "big" white invader. Two horses, two police officers and four pigeons.

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.

PA_1121 [20 points]

A revisit to number 1121 was needed for two reasons. First of all better light conditions than in January when I visited this one in the morning Winter mist and the second reason was the game FlashInvaders which I started to play in March 2015. The balayeuses were not happy with me taking photos and they gave me a big jet of water. Thank you, couldn't be better!

This is one of the space invaders in Rotterdam which was presumed dead but has been re-activated this morning by space invader hunter and FlashInvaders player Joethecrab (unrecognizable on the picture, ranking on number 6, 739 space invaders found and a score of 21,100 points as we speak) and yours truly (ranking on number 73, 269 space invader flashed and a score of 7,760 points). This 10 point black and white space invader was painted over for years and with a little help of us it has been re-activated again on the morning of April 16 on 09h33 in the morning. Looks like new and invaded yesterday. Though we say to ourselves!

THE INVASION OF ROTTERDAM

In the year 2001 the city of Rotterdam has been invaded by Invader. In 4 days Invader put 26 space invaders (1 hidden bonus) on the walls of Rotterdam. Sometimes hidden sometimes on very visible locations. I took some photos earlier but never put them on Flickr. Eight of the in total 25 space invader are still 'active' in 2015. Two were deleted in 2014 and 2 old new ones came back active (one re-activation and one became visible again due to the removal of a small billboard where it was hidden behind). Rotterdam was the 8th invaded city in the world.

Part of the Caught Snapping serie !

52 Weeks Project

 

During the summer I use the long days for long photowalks. Even if I only arrive around 19h00. This week I was lucky with enough sun and light for a long photowalk...

Location: Place du Châtelet, Quai de Gesvres and in the distance Boulevard de Sébastopol.

Coordinates: 48°51'26" N 2°20'51" E

Reason: A long photowalk with some new and old space invaders on my way to take photos of and to flash with the application FlashInvaders.

Place du Châtelet: Place du Châtelet is a public square in Paris, on the right bank of the river Seine, on the borderline between the 1st and 4th arrondissements. It lies at the north end of the Pont au Change, a bridge that connects the Île de la Cité, near the Palais de Justice and the Conciergerie, to the right bank.

The name "Châtelet" refers to the stronghold, the Grand Châtelet, that guarded the northern end of the Pont au Change, containing the offices of the prévôt de Paris and a number of prisons, until it was demolished from 1802-10.

At the square's center is the Fontaine du Palmier, designed in 1806 by architect and engineer François-Jean Bralle (1750-1832) to celebrate French victories in battle. [ Wikipedia ]

Weather: Almost clear, still 19°C at 21h52.

To Listen: Abba - Summer Night City (Youtube)

Self-portrait technics: 'Stretched arm' method without self-timer.

PA_1188 [30 points]

Invader is making space invaders which adapts the location. Not only the kind of building but also to the kind of business or store its located. This one in the 6ème is a perfect example. Pour Agnes :) is what the application FlashInvaders states when you flash this one.

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.

MARS_47 [20 points]

The entrance to the Le Panier neighborhood when coming from the Cathédrale La Major is invaded by this little blue one with sunglasses.

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.

I have never seen the original of this space invader which was made in the year 1999. Because of the location this one was removed probably too fast and the number of space invader hunters was negligible at that time. Amsterdam has been under attack of Invader only one wave.

With the re-activation of AMS_26 and AMS_25, the re-activation program in Amsterdam is finished. Two re-activations are not possible anymore because the city changed as well as street furniture and the collaboration of owners of buildings and museums. Photo taken at 09h14 in the morning of my birthday.

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.

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.

A 'gradient' space invader in the 12ème arrondissement of Paris. A good result of a re-activation. Due to all re-activations there are according to the insiders almost 1000 active and 'flashable' space invaders in Paris as we speak (November 2018).

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.

PA_280 is in good company in the field of street art, high above this re-activated space invader there is this work of LMDLDZR (photo 2011).

PA_1175 [30 points]

"It's gonna rain" is the text on the application FlashInvaders. This space invader made of small micro tiles is located in the 9ème arrondissement and part of a twin. PA_1176 is part of this one and located just at the other side of the street. Installed in the same night together with PA_1177 in the 2ème arrondissement.
