The Invasion of Paris

This summer, my family and I went to Europe for a vacation. We spent a week in London and then took a train to Paris. While I was in Paris, I was able to find some of Invader's work scattered around the city. Invader is a street artist whose work consists of tiles glued to the sides of buildings and other fixtures in public areas in cities. The tiles are arranged to represent pixels and form characters from various vintage video games. They're usually from Space Invaders, hence his name. I was able to find three although there are many many more in many more cities.

Quai d'Orléans


Le Louvre


Rue de l'Opera
