PA_768 [10 points]
Space invader number 768 in Paris and number 2097 in the world was deleted in the same year of its invasion but was re-activated and deleted several times. This time it was my turn to capture it for the first time and flash it. A remark: the original version was not green but turquoise.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

On the night of February 19th, Invader added four space invaders in Paris. A striking detail is that these four (PA_1556 through PA_1559) use a new type of mosaic tile with a slightly curved front. I'm posting these four in the order I visited and flashed them. I came to Paris on the beautiful sunny day of February 25th to photograph these four in good lighting conditions. PA_1557, however, will never experience direct sunlight. It's located near Pont Neuf.

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.

A space invader with a gambling factor. Or the blinds are closed and you can capture the whole invader, or you have bad luck and the blinds are open and you can only see what you see here.

This yellow ground invader has recently been re-activated again by one the many re-activators. This type of space invader has to endure a lot of wear and tear from all the public that walks over it every day. Unlike my first visit in 2020, all the tiles are still in place.

PA_038 [10 points]
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.
