The original mushroom space invader code named 'PA_701' did not have a long life. Hopefully the re-activated one we see here will stay longer, but we all know that street art is not forever.

A re-activation wave in métro station République where all two re-activated space invaders were removed within a few days together with this métro space invader in métro station Bastille. Never seen the original of this one before. It was the 13,130,955th space invader flashed since the start of the game in 2014 and at the moment I flashed this one there were 210,007 players of this game.

This one was not easy to find but Mehdi found this one after a few streets in the Medina of Rabat. But it was not flashable when we were there. This is a re-activated space invader and for one reason or another it was not approved by the master Invader so not flashable. Maybe a bonus for our next visit.

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.

A 'runner' in the night along the Seine. A mirroreyed space invader from which I have never seen the original. Thanks to the re-activation team this one is back in town. Visible and flashable for the fans!

AMS_26 [20 points]

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.

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!

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.

RBA_16 [30 points]

A bit hidden in the Oudayas neighbourhood this khamsa is on a white wall. The hamsa (or khamsa) also known as the hand of Fatima, is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout North Africa and in the Middle East and commonly used in jewellery and wall hangings. Depicting the open hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in many times throughout history, the hamsa has been traditionally believed to provide defense against the evil eye.

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.

PA_280 [10 points]

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).

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.

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.

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.

PA_030 [10 points]

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.

In the spring of 2017, 20 space invaders were placed in the Moroccan capital in four days (15/03/2017 to 18/03/2017), of which there are currently (* December 2023) 8 left.

This genie from the lamp is located in a shopping street in the old center of Rabat. This one was number 3423 worldwide.
