Meaning & Analysis

This Invasion Kit was released in 2004, and was assembled and numbered by prolific street artist Invader. Typical of Invader’s style, the work uses the medium of ceramic mosaic to form pixelated characters inspired by Taito’s popular video game Space Invaders. An instantly recognisable motif to anyone who played the game in the ’80s and ’90s, Invader’s imagery is therefore universally readable, no matter your geographic location or social position.

This work forms an important part of Invader’s body of work, as his Invasion Kit series encouraged the participation of his fans like never before. Instead of merely scouring the urban landscape for a sighting of his work, the Invasion Kit invites buyers to paste an Invader work wherever they may choose. The instruction guide, on the reverse of the work’s anti-static packaging, provides a simple step-by-step guide on how to adhere the tiled work to a surface.

By purchasing an Invasion Kit, you have the opportunity become a potential Invader yourself. This work is therefore testament to Invader’s continuous pursuit of bringing his fans closer to his process, and encouraging them to take to the streets and fill it with art.

  • 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.
