Invader

Invader appears in Cockroaches 1, Modi 0: India’s remarkable protests as the pseudonymous French street artist whose tile mosaics are tracked by fans through Flash Invaders. The source says his pixel-like mosaics have appeared in more than 80 cities and even on highly visible landmarks and unusual sites.

The episode’s wiki contribution is not only art-market or street-art biography. Invader becomes a case where low-resolution visual language, urban placement, phone scanning, and fan competition create a Street Art Game Layer over the city.
