Meaning & Analysis

The book was published by Invader to be read alongside his impressive installation art project, the Space Invaders project, which the artist started in 1998. Inspired by the Japanese arcade game, Space Invaders, Invader wanted to carry out his own alien invasions and decided to travel to various cities all over the world and install mosaic aliens onto the walls of the cities he visited. Invader aims to adorn the streets with around 20 to 50 mosaics and the installation process is always done at night so the artist can preserve his anonymity and avoid being caught by the police (many of these installations are illegal).

Invasion Book 6, Hong Kong provides detailed information regarding where the alien mosaics Invader installed in Hong Kong can be found, along with the time and dates of when he made them.

  • Anonymous street artist Invader adopted his pseudonym from the 1978 arcade game, Space Invaders, and has continually paid homage to retro, 8-bit video games throughout his career. His work has evolved from the original Space Invader motif since the early 2000s, with other icons such as Pac-Man, Pink Panther and even the Rubik’s Cube becoming staples in his imagery. Invading urban landscapes with his distinctive pixelated mosaic creations, Invader transcends the boundaries of traditional street art by combining playful nostalgia with an urban twist. His unique fusion of retro aesthetics and contemporary commentary has solidified his place in the global art scene.
