I wonder if this was the inspiration for the Monkey Mosaics[0] in GTA V? [0]

Look's like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.

#52ha!
there are a few of these in Perth WA... They've been there for years.. I've always wondered what they are.

The posts's map is very outdated, according to this site's map. Maybe it's a local map for Paris. https://space-invaders.com/world/
Interesting. There's only one shown in London. I've certainly seen another near Borough Market - and according to this article from 2007, there were 75 in London back then. https://londonist.com/2007/01/random_graffiti_17
If you click on the icon over London, it shows there are 150 there. The global map is 1 invader icon per city tagged, and clicking into a city shows a lot more (and images too!).

> placed just perfectly to be visible but unobtrusive. I love how true this is, they're visible if you're looking for them, otherwise they gracefully blend with the random graffiti all over the city.
PA 143 in Chatelet was particularly remarkable for blending in. One of his earlier ones not using the usual plasticy tile. And a very bold placement. https://murmuresdemurs.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/1-143-pla...
Kinda stunned by this one, thanks for sharing.

#55I remember being introduced to Invader through the Exit Through the Gift Shop film, but I didn't realize that "collecting" space invaders was a thing. Interesting stuff.

Avid player here, I can only recommand :), especially if you leave in Europe you find them everywhere in big cities once you look around
Did you mean "live" in Europe? There doesn't seem to be instances of them too far fom Europe.
I'm pretty sure I've seen some in the US but they may be copycats.

#57Oh, this explains it. I saw these all over the place in Paris many years ago and wasn't sure what they were there for.
Re: Map of Space Invader Mosaics in Paris
#58Awesome, I believe I found some (might be a different artist) in Morocco as well. I loved that discovery :-)
Re: Map of Space Invader Mosaics in Paris
#59I love them so much. Seen some in Ljubljana also. As cool as Banksy if not more.

Duh. Thank you!
