FROM SPACE WITH LOVE: GUERRILLA ARTIST INVADER LEAVES EARTH

Frequently-featured French guerrilla artist Invader — the one behind the pixel-mosaics you’ve undoubtedly spotted just about everywhere throughout Europe & the UK — has officially sent his latest work outside the confines of Earth & back to space itself, as captured by the video extract above, part of a longer movie he’ll be releasing in the future.

The “Space-one” project follows a similar but polar opposite guerrilla invasion in Cancun, where he worked with underwater sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor to bring his characters under the sea, as seen above & below.

Spot more of his invasions throughout Miami (near where he launched “Space-one”) via the space-invaders website.

Possibly one of the classiest mainstream-game-fashion-designs to hit your local Hot Topic (ie. one that doesn’t have “DON’T GO ALL ________ ON ME“/etc. plastered all over it), ThinkGeek offers this official Taito T-shirt, titled Moon Invasion.

The recently-relaunched official Space Invaders site lists a few more new designs in their merchandise section, nearly all of which have unfortunately fallen prey to the game-shirt trope above.

Protests rage amongst disenfranchised invaders in Los Angeles community Culver City, home of yearly games festival Indiecade, which, as a reminder, begins its latest iteration tomorrow and runs through the weekend, and — not coincidentally — originally commissioned the pieces from sculptor Jason Torchinsky in 2011.
