MARS_57 [30 points]
Fish, pastis and a space invader in the 1ère arrondissement of Marseille in the quartier Belsunce.
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. This MARS_57 was the third encounter of my major space invader hunt of July 2021, almost 1 year after invasion wave 3.

A space invader on the Place de Pologne which is actually an exit (sortie 2) of the autoroute A50 (Marseille - Toulon) and a fly-over is almost grazing this 80th space invader of Marseille. This space invader has Kaws style eyes. What I mean? This! (Museumplein, Amsterdam 2021).
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.

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.

There are beautiful things going on on the walls of Paris. Long gone space invaders are popping up again after years of absence. This PA_38 (or PA_038 or even PA_0038 as you wish) has been scraped off the wall in April 2007 but is back to life thanks to one of the (many) fans of space invaders and players of the game FlashInvaders.

On a space invader hunt in the Southern banlieu of Paris Issy-les-Moulineaux, by tramway T2...
Location: Station Les Moulineaux of tramway T2 between Porte de Versailles and Pont de Bezons.
Coordinates: 48°82'14" N 2°25'10" E
Reason: I went here on this evening to flash and capture space invader PA_1416. A bit remote space invader in the beautiful commune Issy-les-Moulineaux South West of Paris. It was my 1223e space invader flashed and the 1028th in Paris. And the ride with T2 is always fun.
PA_1416: soon a link here
Issy-les-Moulineaux: Issy-les-Moulineaux is a commune in the southwestern suburban area of Paris, France, lying on the left bank of the river Seine. It is one of Paris entrances and is located 6.6 km from Notre-Dame Church, which is considered Kilometre Zero of France. On 1 January 2010, Issy-les-Moulineaux became part of the Grand Paris Seine Ouest agglomeration community, which merged into the Métropole du Grand Paris in January 2016.
Population: 69 K, Elevation: 28–96 m
Tramway T2: Île-de-France tramway Line 2 (usually called simply T2) is part of the modern tram network of the Île-de-France region of France. Line T2 connects Paris-Porte de Versailles and Pont de Bezons serving notably the La Défense business district on its way. The line has a length of 17.9 km and 24 stations. The initial section between La Défense and Issy–Val de Seine station opened in July 1997 uses a former heavy rail line converted into light rail whereas the further extensions on both ends opened in November 2009 and November 2012 feature segregated on-street running.
Line T2 is operated by the RATP under the authority of Île-de-France Mobilités.
Because of the success of this line (115,000 people use it daily) the trams were doubled in length in 2005, raising the capacity of each tram to 440 passengers. There are 66 trams of the series 401-466 made by Alsthom (type Citadis 302). On the photo here tram 411.
Listening: Rita Ora, Jonas Blue, Tiësto - Ritual (Youtube)
Weather: Partly cloudy, 22° C (max this day was 23° C)
Self-portrait technics: 'Stretched arm' method without self-timer.

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.

INVASION OF THE CÔTE D’AZUR
In the year 2007 Invader has invaded the entire coast of the French Rivièra. Instead of only one city he made a project of an entire region; Côte d’Azur. Spread out from La Ciotat to the Menton near the border of Italy.
The first wave consisted of 35 space invaders spread out over 24 cities with a total score of 990 points. In 2016 Invader put one invader up in Cavalaire-sur-Mer (CAZ_36) and in 2017 wave number 3 consisted another single one (CAZ_37).
Lots of them have been deleted throughout the years but there are already are about 9 space invaders re-activated.

La mosaïque originale signée Invader avait été posée par Invader le 2 février 2003.
Elle avait été arrachée, puis a été réactivée en 2018.
La plupart du temps, la mosaïque est cachée par le paravent d'un café, et le personnel du café ne donne pas l'accès à la mosaïque car il faut bouger des tables pour rabattre le paravent. On peut voir la mosaïque pendant les heures de fermeture du café - car alors on peut librement bouger le paravent sans déranger.
Donc il faut aller sur place entre 1h30 et 6h00 du matin.
Photo prise vers 1h30 du matin.
Sur Flashinvaders, cette mosaïque vaut 10 points.

This one is located in the neighbourhood Oude Westen and just a few minutes walk from RTD_20.
I went there for the first time within 2 days after re-activation but came back for a better photo with more sunlight.

THE INVASION OF ROTTERDAM
In the year 2001 the city of Rotterdam has been invaded by Invader. It was the 8th city in the world being invaded. In 4 days Invader put 26 space invaders (1 hidden bonus) on the walls of Rotterdam. Sometimes hidden sometimes on very visible locations. As we speak (*September2019) about 21 of 26 space invaders are there. Fifteen of them due to the work of the re-activations. Seven of them are still the original space invaders of 2001 put up by Invader.

One of the most iconic space invaders of Marseille. There is not one space invader in the world that resembles this one. Located in a quiet street when descending from Notre-Dame de la Garde in the direction of Pharo.
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.

A mysterious space invader who for years half hid behind a billboard, but reappeared sometime in 2013 and has been repaired as well in 2017. Some tiles were missing.
A revisit for FlashInvaders a a new photo. Not in full sunlight.

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.

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.

A re-activated space invader in the 17ème arrondissement of which I have never seen the original before. The original looks more yellow than orange. One of the space invaders I found in March, one week before the lock down (sounds more beautiful in French; confinement, but the result is the same).

The 161th space invader in Paris and the 164th space in the world. One month before Invader installed this orange invader with mirror eyes he installed it's first two international space invaders in Antwerpen and number one in Lille (autoroute A1) before returning to Paris.

I think this is the second re-activation in the history of this 19th space invader in Paris and in the world. Better quality than the previous attempt to re-activate this blue on red invader of the very first generation.
