PA_87, Street art mosaic in the 13th arrondissement, Paris, France.
This ceramic tile mosaic depicts a pixelated space invader character from the classic arcade game, carefully assembled using small colored tiles on a public building wall.
Created by the artist Invader on August 20, 1998, this piece was among the early installations that launched his global street art movement in Paris during the late 1990s.
The artwork represents the intersection of digital gaming culture and street art, transforming nostalgic video game imagery into accessible public art that engages urban communities.
Located at 90 Quai de la Gare in Paris's 13th district, the mosaic can be viewed freely from the street and is accessible via public transportation along the Seine riverbank.
This installation is part of a global network of over 3,800 space invader mosaics that can be tracked through dedicated mobile applications and interactive online maps.
