Invader has been cementing his quirky mosaics to Paris walls since the 1990s.
A cyclist rides in front of an Olympic-themed new mosaic by the mysterious French street artist known only by the name Invader, Wednesday Aug. 7, 2024, on the banks of the Seine River, during the 2004 Summer Olympics, in Paris, France. Invader has been cementing his quirky mosaics to Paris walls since the 1990s, usually at night and without permission. He’s become France’s most international, invasive and intriguing contemporary street artist.
The new mosaic is the 1,512th that Invader has glued up in Paris. Players get 50 points when they flash it with his app. Since the first catalogued mosaic of a blue Space Invader went up on a Paris street in 1998, numbered PA_01, Invader has colonized the world. There are now more than 4,000 of his mosaics in cities and towns on all continents except Antartica.
