Who does not know the Space Invaders video game?

Created in 1978 by Taito it rapidly became one of the top video games of the 80′s! A few years later this game inspired a french urban artist who prefer to remain anonymous under the nickname Invader. On the late 90′s Invader started to paste very colored mosaics representing the characters of the game, on the street walls of cities such as París, Los Ángeles or Hon Kong. He creates this “invasions” on this great cities and it has become a new way of visiting and discovering new places of a city and hunt with your camera this little invaders. Today he is not the only one to paste this characters, other anonymous people are also using this way of expression and pasting new mosaics on the streets of the cities. París has today more than 350 all over its streets will you find all of them?
