Is there a particular reason behind Space Invaders being the theme of choice here? I read the "About" page and it suggests the mosaics are also some kind of little ARG, it seems.

They're all (or mostly?) from a single (graffiti?) artist: https://www.space-invaders.com/about/

Also see: https://www.space-invaders.com/world/ (There are a pleasing number to spot in Basel, Switzerland - which surprised me a little when I was there, but I guess why not?)

Interestingly the one here in Utrecht isn't on the list, it's been up for as long as streetview has images available, since 2009, and gets repaired ocasionally. Now I wonder if it's legit

Having put space invaders in space is quite a feat! https://www.space-invaders.com/post/Space2ISS/

Because it's not super obvious from the map link: there is an app distributed by the artist, with which you can "collect" each of the pieces by taking a picture of them https://space-invaders.com/flashinvaders/ It's fun :p

The mosaics look really nice!
