Without you paying attention since the 1990s, we have space invaders clinging to the walls of Paris, France, Europe and the whole world and taking over the territories and houses! Of course, this is the world’s most famous French street artist, French Banksy, and his street name is Space Invader.
He began creating and pasting mosaic creatures from outer space in 1996, when he was an art student, and he mainly wants to tell us that over time, we don’t open our eyes and see what is going on around us without our attention.
Today, more than 20 years later, Invader is with his works all over the world, he has about 3,000 aliens scattered (and there are also two original ones in Eilat! Madness) and since he is so well known, there are thieves and copyists who chase his works!
To avoid this, Invader has developed a special application called FLASHINVADER with which you can take pictures of the works and see if it is an original Invader (each has a name and number, and of course write the year of infection) and collect as many as possible! Thus, the global peak today is that the highest number is 2,722 which is a crazy record for all opinions!
So what makes Invader so interesting?
He is truly designing and still making change, people start looking for him regularly wherever they are, they look up from the phone, worry about the day, and give a moment to Invader’s art and aliens. For this part, we already have a real automatic search of the walls of the buildings.
Invader continues the work, and works nonstop throughout the world, occasionally creating aliens who have a connection to the political situation (e.g. Trump’s Inventor) or affiliation with where he infects them (e.g. Inbidder pasted a special piece on a building where a terrorist attack in Paris in 2015 condemns The acts).
Another interesting fact is that other street artists are aware of the publicity and influence that Invader has on people who are not at all engaged in the arts, so they usually make works and paste their art next to Invader’s works, to gain further recognition and to attract the eyes of passersby to their works as well (:
So come on, search for Invaider’s works and you might find some really interesting! Successfully !
