If you ever have a chance to go to Paris and wander the different districts, you'll probably run into one of Invader's mosaic tributes to Space Invaders, plastered in strategic locations. During my trip around different regions in France, the amount of sightings turned into a game after a while, and I ended up finding 9 of his 'Invasions' over the course of a week in 3 seperate cities I visited. Since 1998, the artist has left his mark in over 52 cities worldwide using mosaics as his medium thanks to their square, pixel like qualities.
This awesome 15 minute video follows Invader during the installation of some of his pieces around France late last year. Invader's tools of the trade? Industrial strength adhesive, a ladder and an armada of pre-prepared mosaic aliens.
