Who created a series of artworks using ceramic mosaics that resemble characters from 1980s video games?
Invader
The French artist known by the pseudonym Invader draws inspiration from 1980s video game characters, notably those from the iconic game Space Invaders. Since the late 1990s, he has installed his ceramic mosaic works in cities around the world, creating a kind of artistic "invasion." Each installation is carefully documented and mapped on his website, turning the hunt for these works into an urban adventure for fans. His work explores the relationship between art, technology, and play, while questioning the legitimacy and boundaries of public space as a canvas for artistic expression. Invader demonstrates how street art can enrich the urban environment, adding a playful and nostalgic dimension.
