HTML Invader: Where to Spot the 8-Bit Street Art in London
Triphibian wrote 1 hour 38 min ago:
There was an Invader alien somewhere around ground zero prior to the
attack. His website used to have a picture of it.

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.

Tangentially, Fleet Street has some other space invaders in the form of
a plaque.

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.

There is/was a space invader about 50m from my door in Budapest when I
lived there.
It was pretty subtle and Iâm sure most people walking by it didnât
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.

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.

I was in Switzerland on holiday and noticed some of these. Pretty fun,
non-destructive and interesting.

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.

Yikes, I can remember when turn of the century meant something
different to what it does today.

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, ...

You mean the previous previous one?

Yeah, I guess so. My memory just ain't so good as it was, back

Made me feel very old indeed!
