I went to the art opening in the fall before the first Fulbright orientation with Karen and Vale and Dave. I didn't know any of the works were still up, but they are. So Space Invaders bracketed my Fulbright orientations.
flickerBingo2 Week 11 O69 - Space-Invaders. (Not on card)
I never thought I'd see one of these things. I had contemplated printing or buying a sticker and planting it somewhere in order to take it's picture. With that in mind I was always thinking small. It didn't occur to me to look up and think big.
Does anyone remember "It's A Mad Mad Mad World?" It was kinda like that.
Addendum - This was gone the next time I was in town. The wall is now a solid green.
Invader (born 1969) is a French street artist who pastes up characters from and inspired by the Space Invaders game, made up of small coloured square tiles that form a mosaic. He does this in cities across the world, then documents this as an "Invasion", with books and maps of where to find each invader. In 2010, he was one of the featured artists in the film Exit Through the Gift Shop in which it states he is a cousin of Thierry Guetta (Mr. Brainwash).
