NA_01, Street art installation in Nantes, France.
This mosaic artwork displays a pixelated character from the classic Space Invaders arcade game, created using small colored tiles arranged in a grid pattern on an urban wall surface.
The installation was created as part of the global Space Invaders street art movement that began in the late 1990s, when artist Invader started placing mosaic representations of video game characters in cities worldwide.
The artwork represents the intersection of gaming culture and street art, transforming retro video game imagery into permanent public installations that connect digital entertainment history with contemporary urban artistic expression.
Located at coordinates 47.215568, -1.5455004 in central Nantes, the mosaic is easily accessible to pedestrians exploring the city and can be photographed freely under Creative Commons licensing terms.
The piece earned 40 points in the Nantes WAVES scoring system, which tracks and gamifies the discovery of digital culture-inspired public artworks throughout the city's streets and neighborhoods.
