Referencing the 1978 Atari video game, the artist began placing mosaics featuring “Space Invaders” on the streets of Paris in the late 1990s. Joined by “Pac Man” ghosts and other popular 8-bit characters, the works soon became a familiar sight to encounter in any urban environment. Invader’s usage of tile to create street art, rather than paint or stencil, is not only a unique choice of medium—it also emphasizes his commentary of how digital information networks have affected and transformed our society. — Bio from Jonathan LeVine Gallery
