A new synthesis of Space Invaders around the world. 67 cities, 3403 invasions. Many fans and bloggers. Many maps, many books.

1. Space Invaders around the World
Revisited by Hervé - January 2017

2. My interest for Street Art began with Banksy’s performance in
New York in October 2013. I then discovered that Space Invader
had invaded Lausanne, Geneva, Bern and Basel in Switzerland.
During that period I became aware of beautiful mirror mosaics
randomly placed in Pully, near Lausanne.
After this initial period, I began to make a virtual trip around the
world, looking for Invader’s work online. This is the result of my
quest.
This document follows a first synthesis made in 2014

7. The two previous slides give an exhaustive list of Space Invader (SI) invasions. Here is the meaning of each column.
CITY: SI has invaded 67 places so far, some such as Cote D’Azur include many towns…
#: Number of invasions in city.
Ref: The 2 to 4 letter acronym SI uses for the references of the work.
PA_1234 is the 1234th invasion in Paris.
Sometimes there is a zero such as #LA_047 .
No Reference: Number of references in location for which I could not find any image.
Ref. missing: The list of references missing for a city. When too many, the ones founded are in-between ().
Images missing: Number of images missing in any location (different from previous as some images exist without a ref.)
Not located: Place not located in city corresponding Google map.
Points: SI give a value in points to each invasion, just like in the video game. This gives the points per city.
Waves: SI may have invaded a city multiple times. Each invasion is called a wave.
News: SI published newsletters. This gives the newsletter in which the city is mentioned.
For example www.space-invaders.com/inl22.html#english
Map: SI published maps with some cities. This gives the map number according to SI’s web site.
The next two slides give the Slideshare address of the document produced for a city as well as the date of its publication.

16. Of course maps are one of the ultimate goals of Street Art,
but Space Invader wishes them not to be publicly available as many works are destroyed…

17. BOOKS: PARIS – LONDON – MIAMI – HONG KONG – LOS ANGELES
Despite a wish to be hidden, Space Invader published books with maps and pictures.

A final world about copyright…
To whom does all this belong, the works and the images.
Copyright is a tricky topic and even more for Street Art.
I have to apologize for “borrowing” images which I use more as an information tool.
SI asked me to delete images I had been using, which I tried to do.
Not an easy exercise with so much stuff…
