Mosaic art installed at ESA’s spacecraft operations centre ESOC in Darmstadt, Germany, on the grey building on the right. French artist Invader is installing his iconic art at ESA establishments all over Europe and even on the International Space Station.
The European Space Operations Centre ensures the smooth working of spacecraft in orbit. Its control rooms, linked to ground stations all over the world, track and control satellites, and carry out payload operations and routine systems monitoring.
After ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti found a space invader called ‘Space2’ in the Columbus space laboratory, the space-themed art has appeared at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany and at ESA’s Redu Centre in Belgium, where satellites are controlled and tested as part of ESA’s ground station network.
Mission control believes Invader will organise more invasions and activate aliens at other ESA establishments throughout the year. Follow their progress on Twitter via #space2iss and #SpaceInvader.

Now the invaders are part of the past.

The input image here was rasterized into the wood. At this printing size, the image was about 280 dpi. The laser is capable of 20x that resolution (on some materials).

Expired 2003 Time Zero film.
(scanner decided to break today, so I used my D90 and macro lens - I’ll put up a scan when I get a new one!)
*UPDATE 28.11.2010** Got a new scanner, so have replaced the ‘camera scan’ with a proper one.*
The latest in Invader technology. This particular ship contains a small rover for the pilot.
I actually built this before I saw pictures of the new Blacktron Cruiser GWP, so any resemblance is coincidence. Heck, when It wasn't even intended to be like the original Invader either.
Incredible workmanship! Gold torque buried around 100BC in Snettisham, Norfolk. High status symbol from pre-Roman Britain. Who dares say that the Roman invaders brought art and culture to Britain?

Japan - A Nation Wallowing in Disgrace and Pettiness
After years of confrontations and controversy two things are now very clear. The first is that no one of intelligence believes anymore that Japan is, or has been engaged in scientific whaling and it is also clear that the Japanese argument of cultural necessity is just as bogus as their claim to scientific research.
The Japanese government intends to defy the International Court of Justice and they intend to return to the internationally established Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to kill whales.
Why? Because this is no longer about whaling. It is about defiance and the assertion of Japanese nationalism over world opinion. This is nothing new with Japan, in fact it is more reflective of Japanese culture than almost anything else.
The Japanese government through the Institute of Cetacean Research has waged war on Sea Shepherd both on the high seas and in the courts. They have managed to isolate myself and Sea Shepherd USA through the U.S. Courts. But that is all they have achieved and what they don’t understand is that Sea Shepherd is not an organization and it is not me. Sea Shepherd is a movement.
Sea Shepherd activists have nothing to lose and everything to gain for the simple fact that Sea Shepherd volunteers are not saving whales in return for a pay cheque. They are saving whales because whales are whales and have a right to live and the integrity of what is established as a sanctuary must be defended. The whales are the clients of Sea Shepherd Global.
So where are we now? For over a decade Japan has had the satisfaction of accusing Sea Shepherd of being outlaws, pirates, and eco-terrorists.
They can do so no more. The International Court of Justice has ruled that the Japanese whalers are the outlaws. They are the eco-terrorists and they have illegally invaded an internationally established sanctuary for whales for the purpose of unlawfully slaughtering protected and endangered species and in so doing they have lied to the entire world about their motivations.
Sea Shepherd has saved thousands of whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary through the implementation of daring campaigns incorporating passionate and courageous crew coupled with imaginative non-violent tactics and guided by a strategy based on working within the boundaries of international law.
Japan has shamefully abused their authority as a government and even more shamefully they have lowered themselves to recognizing that Sea Shepherd as a non-governmental organization is a force that they are both concerned with and fear.
When they return in 2015 they have stated they will develop tactics to counter Sea Shepherd tactics. But how can they counter a crew that are willing to die for the defense of the Sanctuary? Will they escalate their already dangerous tactics? Do they think that killing Sea Shepherd crew will win them sympathy for their on-going illegal activities? Do they expect their threats to deter Sea Shepherd volunteers?
The Japanese whalers have the advantage of being backed by a government that will justify whatever they do but Sea Shepherd volunteers have an even greater advantage and that is the resolve to stand firm in the Sanctuary, no matter what the consequences.
The whalers have money, political power and ruthlessness on their side. Sea Shepherd has passion, courage and imagination on our side and now we have one more advantage and that is a verdict from the ICJ that our opposition are criminals – not us.

PA_1485 [50 points]
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. Followed by the invasion of both Fontainebleau (18 invaders) and München (18 invaders). In the background the Église Saint-Merri. PA_1485 is surrounded by work of GZ'UP, A2 and another one, a clock.
Onscreen FlashInvaders message: IT WORKS! (one of the standard messages)
