Yikes, I can remember when turn of the century meant something different to what it does today.
akie•1mo ago
My wife's student asked: "Is it ok if I quote a few papers from the end of the last century?"

Made me feel very old indeed!

tokai•1mo ago
I always use 'last millennium'. Makes it feel even worse.
dvh•1mo ago
It's called papyrus!
ASalazarMX•1mo ago
I still miss the clay tablet culture.
bell-cot•1mo ago
Meh - I'd say the previous one was much more important. Napoleon upending Europe's political & social order, similar in China as the Qing put down the White Lotus Rebellion, Volta inventing the electric battery, ...

(;

AlecSchueler•1mo ago
You mean the previous previous one?
bell-cot•1mo ago
Yeah, I guess so. My memory just ain't so good as it was, back in the day...

There is also an official app [1] that you can use to photograph and track the mosaics you encounter. It also confirms if the design is indeed done by Invader.

I'm not competing on the leaderboard, but it's still a fun incentive to go instreets I don't usually go through to see if there is a design I haven't encountered yet.

Oh that's awesome, I never knew about this app! Walking around NYC it always feels like an easter egg when I randomly notice an Invader somewhere.
michaelcampbell•1mo ago
I was in Switzerland on holiday and noticed some of these. Pretty fun, non-destructive and interesting.
goshx•1mo ago
I was in Marseille last week and saw a pixel art of a seagull carrying an invader and was wondering about the story behind it. I love it, thanks for sharing.

Invader features early in this extraordinary street art documentary by Banksy:

There is/was a space invader about 50m from my door in Budapest when I lived there.

It was pretty subtle and I’m sure most people walking by it didn’t even notice. I really liked it, especially the fact that it was impossible to know whether it was a Genuine Space Invader or merely a space invader.

MontagFTB•1mo ago
We saw these is Ravenna
nsavage•1mo ago
I don't live in London, but was there a few weeks ago and walked right by one of the buildings featured and didn't notice. Goes to show that you should always be looking up.
turbonaut•1mo ago
Tangentially, Fleet Street has some other space invaders in the form of a plaque.

Many years ago I had an idea for a mobile app that would effectively be an interactive tour for street art. Just a map with all known instances of public art, whether murals, quality graffiti, public sculptures, etc.

Still seems like a good idea tbh.

Triphibian•1mo ago
There was an Invader alien somewhere around ground zero prior to the attack. His website used to have a picture of it.
aaroninsf•1mo ago
Tangentially related,

one of the best things my family did visiting London last summer was to take a private bike tour of the east end street art scene with Alternative London https://alternativeldn.co.uk/

Coming from SF the ride was blissfully flat and easy and our guide (the founder) was exceptional in every respect.

It's one of the two things we tell people going to not miss... the other being, mudlarking for Victorian pipe stems [guaranteed find] and maybe something more magical [rare but happens, a local showed us an Elizabethean coin and mediaeval pin she'd found]. We went, across the river a bit west of the Tate Modern, IIRC.

DonHopkins•1mo ago
I had a pair of official Space Invader sneakers that would leave pixelated Space Invader stamps and ONE POINT footprints behind.
